LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)—Scorchers head coach Lovemore Fazili says he will field a strong side when his team faces Zambia’s Copper Queens on Sunday, November 29, 2025, at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe in the ongoing Three-Nations tournament.
The team is looking for redemption to keep their hopes of winning the championship on home soil alive following their disappointing 1-2 loss to Zimbabwe’s Mighty Warriors on Friday evening at the same venue.
Speaking in a pre-match interview, Fazili said: “Playing Zambia tomorrow is a totally different game from what we played against Zimbabwe but I’m not underestimating them as they are equally a good side.
The Warriors gave us a good test. We have played Zambia before and they have been to WAFCON several times. In tomorrow’s game, we aim to perform differently from our first match against Zimbabwe.”
Copper Queens assistant coach Charles Halubono said they are taking the Three-Nations games seriously as they are part of their WAFCON preparations.
“This is a preparation match for WAFCON, hence we have to take it seriously to help us prepare our team before the finals in Morocco.
“Malawi has been improving and now they have, for the first time, qualified for the WAFCON Finals,” said Halibono.
Meanwhile, Racheal Kundananji, who plays in the United States women’s league alongside Temwa Chawinga, anticipates a tough match.
Zimbabwe currently leads the table with three points after defeating Malawi in their opening game.
The Mighty Warriors’ second assignment will be on Tuesday against Zambia.
The team that accumulates the most points after all matches are completed will be crowned champions
