Zimbabwe skipper Julia Chibhabha is confident of her side’s chances ahead of their opening match against Scotland tomorrow.

“Obviously we are looking to win our first game. I think every team is looking to play well in their first game so against Scotland we’re hoping we’ll win” she says.

Chibhabha admits not knowing much about their opposition and doesn’t believe that will harm her side’s chances in their opening match of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Indeed she is confident enough to predict that her side may even be capable of having a real impact in the latter stages of the tournament.

Chibhabha said: “I think our chances are just as good as any other team at the moment. After tomorrow, we’ll be able to see how far we can go in this tournament.

“But I’m very confident that we’ll get to the Final but it might be a difficult task.”

Meanwhile, Scotland completed a full training session this morning and has a fully fit squad available for selection.
