Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu said she is excited about the opportunity to play against the Malawi style of game who proved to be crowd favourites at last year's Fast5 World Series.
"The Malawi Queens have an unpredictable and dynamic style which we experienced at Fast5 last year and we are excited to be playing them in a test series," Taumaunu said.
