never changed. The win sets up another must win affair this afternoon against the Zambians who had earlier given the defending champions a scare before losing 48-55.
The winner between the two neighbors will join Malawi to the semi-finals. Once again shooter Pauline Jani was in excellent touch which did justice to the efforts of the defensive trio of Patience Chinhoyi (goalkeeper), Media Mafuta (goal defender) and Caroline Matura (wing defender) who blunted the dangerous pair of Retshabile Thulaganyo and Rasekhumba Portia.
The mid-court had been the worrying factor in the previous loss to Malawi, but they had done their homework with skipper Perpertual Siyachitema (centre) and goal attack Miriam Lazaro very mobile and incisive with their passing to lead Zimbabwe to 18-10 win at the first break which went to 29-22 at the main breather.
