It was mixed emotions on day 4 as we saw both our teams, New Zealand and Australia, take to the court to compete for final overall standings between 33-40.
If both teams were to win their matches against Uganda and Slovakia respectively, they would have faced each other again in the play-off for positions 33 and 34 in the overall standings. However, it wasn’t meant to be this time round as Australia narrowly missed out against Slovakia (3-1) while New Zealand continued their run of victories in the 33-40 tier competition, defeating Uganda 3-0:
