The Silver Ferns are highly motivated to sweep the four-test Constellation Cup netball series against Australia to achieve a world ranking that's escaped them for 13 years.

Kelly Jackson was the MVP in the six-goal win in the series opener in Auckland...and the defender says the Ferns want to continue excelling.

"We back ourselves to do that, we know if we win the next three, we've got that world number one spot - and we haven't been in that spot since 2013." 

Test two is in Christchurch this Wednesday.
