It was another page in one of the biggest rivalries in international netball, with the Diamonds defeating the Silver Ferns 59-57 in Cape Town, to remain undefeated with just one regular game to go.
The Diamonds were able to come back from an eight-goal deficit in the first half to go on and win the match. Struggling to get a foothold in the first quarter, once Australia was able to get themselves back into the contest in the second the game became a tight tussle as usual with neither side willing to give much of an inch.
ESPN looks at the three biggest talking points from the match.
There's nothing stopping Grace Nweke
Silver Ferns goal shooter Grace Nweke continued to prove that she is among the best goal shooters in the world after another strong performance, this time against the Diamonds. With Nweke only 20 years old, the best is still yet to come.
Supported by captain Ameliaranne Ekenasio in goal attack and Kate Heffernan and Gina Crampton in the midcourt, the quick releases into the circle -- especially in the first quarter -- made it extremely hard for the Australian defenders to get a hand to the ball.
Nweke's reach is incredibly impressive, when the ball is coming in at the high-test point, it leaves very little room for error for Sarah Klau and Courtney Bruce. Whilst shooting 42 goals for the game at 45 percent, her height doesn't give the defenders a chance to get the rebounds, so she's always willing to put the shot up.
The combination between Nweke and Ekenasio has the ability to become one of the best in shooting combinations if it isn't already. With the pair really working well together and complimenting each other's style of play.
Ekenasio was able to feed the ball nicely into Nweke, putting the ball out of reach of the Australian defenders, if she didn't take the shot herself.
Bringing a bit of the Sunshine Coast to the Quad series
Diamonds coach Stacey Marinkovich opted for the Sunshine Coast shooting combination with Cara Koenen in goal shooter and Steph Wood out at goal attack.
It took a quarter for the combination to really get going but once it did, it worked quite nicely for Australia with Wood able to use her speed and smarts to get around the Silver ferns defence, while New Zealand's defenders gave her too much space to move in.
The decision making from Wood to either pass it off to Koenen or sink the shot herself was what set her apart, especially in the fourth quarter.
The passes between Wood and Koenen were pinpoint, with the goal attack able to get that lightning quick pass in between the smallest gaps for Koenen to pop through.
As always, Wood was able to sink those long-range shots when the Diamonds needed it while Koenen worked the baseline to take shots mostly under the post.
The change to bring Paige Hadley on court during the third quarter really lifted the Diamonds' attack end with Hadley able to help the team bring the ball to circle edge while she continued to strengthen that midcourt combination with Liz Watson.
Koenen finished the match with 38 goals at 95 percent while Wood, who was instrumental in the final quarter, finished with 21 goals at 88 percent.
Battle of the defence ends
For the first three quarters especially, it was almost the battle of the defences with both ends able to create opportunities for their respective sides.
The Diamonds struggled with the New Zealand zone defence early which allowed for the likes of Kelly Jury, Jane Watson and Karin Burger to win the ball back for the Silver Ferns, through either an intercept, gain or forcing an error from Australia.
The hands over pressure from Jury in that first quarter was able to almost stop Wood from taking those long-range shots, instead either passing it around the circle or feeding it into Koenen.
Down the Diamonds end, Bruce worked tirelessly to win the ball back for her side and once she did it was almost like the team lifted their intensity to another level.
Bruce was able to claim the intercepts or gains at the top or outside the goal circle, to try and nullify the impact of Nweke as once the ball went into the goal circle for the Silver Ferns shooter to take it was extremely hard for Bruce and Klau to regain possession.
Bruce finished the match with three intercepts and three gains while down the other end Burger continued her stunning return from injury, finishing the match with three intercepts and three gains playing across wing defence and goal defence.
While Australia have already guaranteed their place in the final, one final round match against South Africa remains and the Diamonds will want to put their slow starts behind them and get their combinations clicking early, especially after the Proteas stunned England to claim a stunning draw on Monday morning.
