The Magic kept their ANZ Premiership season alive in emphatic fashion after beating the Stars 72-51 in a must-win game in Hamilton on Monday.

In registering their highest winning score since 2018, the Pulse dominated across the court and rocked the Steel early on.

A chaotic last couple of minutes saw the Mystics pip the Steel 55-54 courtesy of a super shot in the dying minutes of the match in Dunedin last night. The Mystics are top of the ANZ Premiership netball ladder after three rounds but will be crossing their fingers that Donnell Wallam's injury is not too serious. Wallam landed heavily on her left wrist to break her landing just before the third quarter break and had to leave the court.
