Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls will face world number two team New Zealand in a two-Test netball series, starting tonight at 7 o’clock at the National Indoor Sports Centre.



The second and final matches in the series will take place on Thursday at the same venue.



The Jamaicans are on a high after drawing a similar series against world champions Australia.



Jamaica lost the opening match in that series 53-51 on Saturday night, but bounced back on Sunday to register a 56-55 victory over Australia.



It was Jamaica’s first victory over Australia in 11 years.
