Sri Lanka and Zambia withdrawn

On 19 September, it was reported that, due to unforeseen circumstances both Sri Lanka and Zambia had not arrived in Gibraltar. As a result they both had to forfeit their Round 1 matches. Wins were recorded for New Zealand and England in these matches, with 2 points awarded to each team. By 21 September, the situation remained unresolved and World Netball decided to withdraw Sri Lanka and Zambia from the whole tournament. All their matches were subsequently forfeited and their opponents were each awarded 2 points. ==Match officials==
