Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Constellation Cup decider between the Silver Ferns and Australia at Auckland's Spark Arena.

After winning game three to keep this four-game series alive, New Zealand must now win the decider by 17 goals to lift the trans-Tasman silverware for the third time.

That seems a tall task against the reigning world champions, but the Ferns' record win over their archrivals is 25 goals, so not impossible.

A feature of their win at Invercargill was the tactical use of star shooter Grace Nweke, who was limited to three quarters of play, as she continues her comeback from the knee injury suffered during the World Cup.

Coach Dame Noeline Taurua removed her from a close game in the third quarter and brought her back to close out the dying moments of the win, but hopes Nweke's recovery will enable her to play all four quarters today.

Join us at 4pm for the opening centrepass.
