AFTER posting six draws in the same number of games, Highlanders will on Sunday march into the cauldron of Barbourfields Stadium with their fingers crossed all in a hope of finally collecting maximum points against ZPC Kariba in one of the Week Seven Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) matches to be played on Sunday.
Highlanders have become an internet sensation for their drawing escapade.
Benjani Mwaruwari’s troops are under massive pressure to collect as many points as possible, and what better place to do so than at Emagumeni?
Buoyed by their legion of fans, the boys in black and white are under massive pressure to collect their first set of three points.
After Easter Monday’s inspiring show away to defending PSL champions Scottland at Rufaro, faith remains resolute. It is now or never with Mwaruwari’s charges playing some breathtaking football but failing to register wins.
It has been a case of good handwriting but wrong answers for Bosso.
Tied on nine points together with MWOS, FC Platinum and Simba Bhora, seventh-placed Chicken Inn will travel to Gweru for a date against Herbert Maruwa’s TelOne in a match that will be played at Ascot Stadium.

Chiefs are a bruised lot following their 1-0 defeat at the hands of former champions FC Platinum.

On three goals apiece are Allen Mukombedzi (Caps United), Frank Ageymang (Dynamos), Wilfred Madzungu (Hardrock), Aurthur Banda (MWOS) and Walter Musona (Scottland)
