PREVIEW
With wins over Malawi and Barbados, the Ferns can go three from three tonight, taking on Singapore in their final group match.
Last night's victory over Barbados gave Noeline Taurua more of an idea as to her best side, with multiple combinations getting a run at different stages of the win.
The Silver Ferns have never lost to the Silver Ferns, with four wins from four - including a 117-9 victory back in 1974. The last time these two sides met, the Ferns came away winners 64-17, that match was in 1975.
We'll have team lineups as soon as they're available.
