England And Jamaica Stun World’s Top Two as Wales and Scotland Win to Book Ninth-Place Showdown

(World Netball Report)

On a spectacular day of change to the netball world order, England upset 11-time champions Australia and Jamaica stunned defending champions New Zealand at the Netball World Cup 2023 in Cape Town.

The result meant England finished top of Group F and will most likely meet New Zealand in the Semi-Final, while Jamaica will play Australia.

Despite their loss, the Silver Ferns will more than likely still progress to the semi-finals, with hosts South Africa faced with the task of beating Uganda by an unrealistic margin in the afternoon match to take their place.

Wales and Scotland also claimed victories in their respective games to set up a battle with each other for ninth place.

Scores:
ENGLAND 56 Australia 55
JAMAICA 59 – 48 NEW ZEALAND
