Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of this fourth and final Constellation Cup test between the Silver Ferns and Australia, from the Gold Coast.
After taking two victories at home to open this series, the Silver Ferns' chances of bringing home the Constellation Cup have been flipped on their heads after Australia's victory last Wednesday.
The Diamonds' 62-47 win in Melbourne has set up what will be a decider tonight, with a 158-155 goal differential in Australia's favour meaning whoever wins tonight will take home the trophy.
If New Zealand wins, they'll take the series 3-1, while an Australian victory will give them an aggregate victory - despite the 2-2 scoreline.
Even after the defeat on Wednesday, though, coach Dame Noeline Taurua said her side won't have to deviate too far from what they've already done well in this series.
TAB odds: New Zealand $2.80, Australia $1.37
Squads:
New Zealand: Ameliaranne Ekenasio (captain), Maddy Gordon, Kate Heffernan, Kayla Johnson, Kelly Jury, Phoenix Karaka, Grace Nweke, Kimiora Poi, Te Paea Selby-Rickit, Whitney Souness, Elle Temu, Maia Wilson
Australia: Sunday Aryang, Kiera Austin, Ruby Bakewell-Doran, Courtney Bruce, Sarah Klau, Cara Koenen, Kate Moloney, Amy Parmenter, Jamie-Lee Price, Maddy Proud, Liz Watson, Steph Wood
