Team captain, Vitalis Chikoko, was once again outstanding as he managed 22 points, 18 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks.

Chikoko, who plays in France for Élan Béarnais Pau-Orthez, was also influential in the opening match were he contributed 12 points with Warren Tegama getting 22 points, which was the highest individual score on Zimbabwe’s scorecard.

Zimbabwe coach, Edison Chiware, was delighted by his men’s performance.

“We are, obviously, excited. I still maintain that the lads are putting in a huge effort and we are happy with what we are seeing and, hopefully, it will continue into the next games.

“I think what we have observed with our team is we are shooting better than before, so this really gives us good opportunities because now we are spacing out well,” said Chiware.
