Fun fact 1: NZ hasn't beaten AUS without Ameliaranne Ekenasio in their team since 2018.

Fun fact 2: AUS has lost 8 straight games in NZ. Their last win was in 2021... when Ekenasio was being rested!

Stats from tonight's second test in Sydney. Once again, a very tidy game from Australia. They've had just 19 general play turnovers in two test matches combined. By comparison, the Silver Ferns had that many tonight.

Full time: AUS 68-51

Another 17-goal win for Australia and a very similar score to test 1. Liz Watson had a cracking game and was POTM in her 50th match as Diamonds' captain.

Australia leads 2-0 as we cross the ditch for the final 2 games.

3/4 time: AUS 51-37

Garbin 33/39 (85%)
Horjus 7/12 (58%)

Nweke 26/31 (84%)
Heffernan 7/8 (88%)

What a quarter to AUS! Georgie Horjus came on for her first game at GA against NZ. She opened up the attack end beautifully, but struggled for accuracy.

Garbin 19/23 (83%)
Austin 11/12 (92%)

Nweke 20/24 (83%)
Heffernan 4/5 (80%)

Undoubtedly NZ's best quarter of the series so far. Australia's lead reached 7, before the Ferns came storming back, thanks largely to their defence.

Full time: AUS 69-52

After threatening to run away with things in the first 3 Qs, the Diamonds did just that in the 4th. NZ unravelled somewhat as AUS played almost a perfect Q (24-11). POTM was Kate Moloney, while Sophie Garbin was also incredible.
