Australia vs Northern Ireland prediction

Arguably the biggest mismatch in the competition sees Netball World Cup champions and 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallists Australia take on a Northern Ireland team who have been beaten by all four of their other group A rivals. They’ve given up a massive 283 points, by far the most of any team in the group at an average of over 70 points per game and have scored just 164.

Australia to put it politely, are simply a much-better team in all facets of the court. They will surely dominate Northern Ireland, blow them away with the scoring prowess and record a victory by a huge number of points. It would quite frankly, be a surprise if the winning margin wasn’t at least 50 points.
