The Jamaica Sunshine Girls are poised for a final showdown in the Taini Jamison Trophy Series, following their historic win over the Silver Ferns.

Jamaica dominated the court with a confident display to claim victory, 59-51, over New Zealand on Thursday night.

The Sunshine Girls' shooters and defenders proved unstoppable for the Ferns, however Jamaica's Head Coach Sasher-Gaye Henry said she believed they had not yet played to their full potential.

"We're pleased, but we have a lot of work to do," Henry said in a press conference on Thursday night.

"We were a little bit shaky in some of our areas but I think we were very strong in our shooting area and that made it good for us."

"We didn't stay mentally tough the whole game ... but we are happy with what we've done tonight, but we have a lot more to do in terms of the patience and the discipline."

Henry was confident with Jamaica's potential to podium at next month's Commonwealth Games, but said her eyes were set on the Taini Jamison Trophy.

"We're going for that trophy, and we know it's going to be a tough tough one," Henry said.

"If we lapse for a second we know we will lose, so we have to be more steady in our thinking right throughout the game."

The Silver Ferns must first take on the Fiji Pearls, who have been the weakest team in the series, before commencing to the finals.

Fiji were badly beaten by both Jamaica and Malawi in their previous games of the tournament, and have never won a game against the Ferns.

Tonight's match should be a comfortable win for the Silver Ferns, particularly with the return of Vice-captain Maria Folau and defender Kayla Cullen.

Cullen, who was not initially expected to take part in the four-day series due to a knee injury has recovered well from rigorous fitness testing, and will be considered for the Ferns final two tests.

Folau will continue to be managed through the series campaign with a knee complaint, but was confirmed to be back on court tonight.

Both the return of Folau and Cullen will bring back much needed experience to the Ferns squad, and is sure to make an impact to how the Ferns play against Jamaica on Saturday at the North Shore Events Centre.
