The players to watch closely for Zambia are Barbara Banda and Rachael Kunandanaji. These duo need to be kept at bay. Zamiba and Morocco are the 2 teams that are capable of beating us. SA for me is not the SA that won the last trophy. Their level has dropped a bit.
WE MUST DO BETTER WITH OUR FINISHING! Too many missed chances. Will be costly in the knock out rounds if we don’t improve in this area.
