The 2020 Taini Jamison Trophy Series, also known as the 2020 Cadbury Netball Series, was the 11th Taini Jamison Trophy series. It featured New Zealand playing England in three netball test matches, played in late October and early November 2020. All three tests were played at Hamilton's Claudelands Arena. It was the first international netball test series to be staged since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] New Zealand won the series after winning the opening two tests, 58–45 and 54–47 respectively.[3][4][5][6] They subsequently won the third test 62–47 and finished 3–0 series winners.[7][8] The New Zealand team were coached by Noeline Taurua and captained by Ameliaranne Ekenasio.[9] England's head coach, Jess Thirlby, could not travel to New Zealand after testing positive for coronavirus. So Kat Ratnapala coached England for the series. England were co-captained by Serena Guthrie and Laura Malcolm.[10][11][12] New Zealand's Maia Wilson finished the series as the top scorer after scoring 116 from 127 with a 91% success rate.[13][14] The series was broadcast live on Sky Sport in New Zealand and on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[2][15]
