The Fiji Pearls are just a win away from qualifying to the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Pearls are currently sitting in second place in the overall standings with 4 points while Cook Islands and Samoa are third with two points each.

The Fiji Pearls beat Samoa 45-43 in their match last night to keep their World Cup hopes alive while Tonga Tala secured their World Cup spot after their 70-43 win over Cook Islands.

The Fiji Pearls will face Cook Islands at 4pm today at the Vodafone Arena while Samoa will take on PNG at 2pm.

The admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children under 12.
