The Silver Ferns finished with a flourish to deliver a comfortable 65-46 win over the SPAR Proteas in their second outing of the Netball Quad Series in Hamilton on Wednesday.

The Silver Ferns followed up their opening win of the series against England looking to consolidate combinations and maintain their intensity. But it took time to gain the upper hand over the plucky South Africans.

Gaining the ascendancy in the second half after a slow start, the Silver Ferns were forced into grind mode before producing a powerful push in the run home when showing improvement across all areas.
