Australia's Diamonds lose to New Zealand's Silver Ferns 61-52 in Constellation Cup third Test

Australia has missed the chance of wrapping up the Constellation Cup in the third Test, with New Zealand recording a 61-52 victory in Hamilton.

The Diamonds hosted the opening two Tests of the series, winning both by comfortable 17-goal margins.

A triumph in Hamilton would have seen the Diamonds regain the Constellation Cup, but their fortunes changed across the Tasman, with the Silver Ferns rebounding on home soil.

Grace Nweke stood up for the Silver Ferns, shooting 44 goals from 46 attempts.

Sophie Garbin led the scoring for the Diamonds with 22 goals.

The Silver Ferns will retain the Constellation Cup if they win Wednesday night's final Test in Christchurch.

More to come.
