Tonga vs Northern Ireland prediction
These two nations prop up Group A with neither having won a game. Both have been ruthlessly exposed at this, the highest level of netball and for Tonga in particular, it’s been a disaster. After shipping 99 points against Australia, Sunday saw them give up 96 points vs South Africa, the Proteas’ highest individual score in the Commonwealth Games.
Northern Ireland have been pummelled themselves but at least they haven’t given up the volume of points their opponents have. Whilst losing heavily to England, the Northern Irish players showed positive signs in their 64-48 defeat to Malawi where they were taken down by Mwai Kumwenda. They look stronger defensively than Tonga and this is why Northern Ireland are worth backing to win this battle of the bottom two.
