“Presently, we at a disadvantage after losing the first set of matches to Egypt. But the players are already in high spirits ahead of the encounter against Zimbabwe.
“We know Zimbabwe could be a hard nut to crack, but we also know that we are up to the task… and that was why we came here in the first place.
“The players are more ready than you can think or imagine, and I know that all things being equal, we shall make the nation proud at the end of our encounter with the East Africans today. Just keep praying for us and keep believing in us,” Coach Benson stated.
