The Silver Ferns were beaten by Jamaica at the Netball World Cup last night ... but they are through to the semi-finals.

Jamaica beat New Zealand 59-48 in Cape Town, racing away in the final quarter as goal shoot Jhaniele Fowler proved dominant.

The Ferns will now come up against England in the semis, after they stunned Australia to top their pool.
