minute.
The opening stanza ended 19-10.
Zambia’s defence of goal keeper Mutafela Magret, goal defender Mooka Mukiti and wing defender Mukamba Annie made some crucial interceptions which silenced the dangerous Pauline Jani upfront for the Gems.
At 22-33, at the main breather, Zimbabwe needed some changes, as well as motivation, but none came their way.
Even the introduction of Ndaizivei Madzikangava at centre, young Paidamoyo Tinoza at goal attack with skipper Perpetual Siyachitema switching to wing attack, could not inspire a change in their fortunes.
