New Zealand have opened the defence of their netball world championship title in emphatic style with an 85-26 defeat of Malawi in Auckland.
Irene Van Dyke led the way as the Silver Ferns took an 18 point lead to the first break.
While Malawi struggled to convert, Van Dyke couldn't put a foot wrong sinking 42 shots from 42 attempts before she was subbed off in the final quarter.
The African side showed occasional flashes of brilliance but was starved of the ball for much of the match.
Tournament favourites Australia begin their campaign tomorrow against sixth-ranked Samoa.
