SA beats Barbados at the World netball champs

The South African netball team has scored its second victory in as many matches at the World Championship in Auckland, New Zealand, after beating Malaysia 67-28 in their opening match.

The Proteas scored a convincing 56-36 victory over the much tougher Caribbean island of Barbados.

They will now meet England in a crucial Pool D match. The winner of that match will almost certainly top the group and will avoid New Zealand in the quarter-final.
