Auckland's Northern Mystics have stormed into the ANZ Premiership Grand Final, outclassing the Tactix by 14 points in netball's top of the table clash.
The 70-56 win on Sunday night secures the Auckland side hosting rights for the championship decider in a fortnight with the two-time defending champions advancing directly to the final.
With both teams at full-strength, the Mystics showed their depth of quality with Australian shooter Donnell Wallam and rising young defender Catherine Hall in the game early.
Despite the stinging loss, the Mainland Tactix remain in the hunt for the grand final and will now take on Wellington's Pulse in the elimination final next Sunday.
After qualifying in second place, the Canterbury side will prepare to host the elimination final at Wolfbrook Arena.
On Saturday the Pulse came through in a thriller with a last gasp win against the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.
Pulse shooter Amorangi Malesala scored a two point shot on the buzzer to seal the incredible win for her side.
Tomorrow night the Steel take on the Stars to sign off their contrasting seasons in the final round in Invercargill. Both sides are now out of contention for the finals.
