Australia defeats England 68-50 to win Commonwealth Games netball bronze

England’s netball team was defeated 68‑50 by Australia in the bronze‑medal match at the Commonwealth Games, leaving the English side to finish fourth in the tournament. The loss came in the final game of the competition, with both teams having already secured at least a bronze medal earlier in the event.

The match was played in front of a packed crowd at the Commonwealth Games venue, and Australia’s dominant performance saw them comfortably outscore England across all quarters. England’s players struggled to contain the Australian attack, while their own scoring opportunities were limited, leading to the 18‑point margin. The defeat means Australia will take the bronze medal, while England will conclude the Games without a podium finish.

With the bronze medal secured, Australia will add a third medal to its Commonwealth Games tally, while England will look to regroup and reassess ahead of future international competitions. The result underscores the competitive gap that remains between the two teams as they prepare for upcoming tournaments.
