GOLD COAST : England secured their biggest netball win over New Zealand to finish top of their group at the Commonwealth Games.
The 54-45 victory – their first Commonwealth triumph over New Zealand – maintains the Roses’ unbeaten run and they now face favourites Australia or Jamaica in the semi-finals on Saturday.
In Pool B, Scotland lost 57-37 to debutants Uganda, who only missed out on the semi-finals on goal difference.
Northern Ireland beat Fiji 73-46 to finish fourth in Pool A.
With England having topped their group, they should avoid playing defending champions Australia in Saturday’s semi-finals.
The hosts are level with Jamaica at the top of Pool A and the two nations face each other later on Wednesday.
Goal attack Helen Housby said: “That was one of our goals coming into the Commonwealths – to be one of the top two in a major event.
“It is a little bit of history for us. We have put a lot of hard work in over the last couple of years to get that victory.”
