Zimbabwe head coach Kaitano Tembo has expressed confidence that his side are capable of producing a strong performance when they face Nigeria's Super Eagles in the semi-final of the Unity Cup at the Valley on Tuesday.

The winner of the tie will advance to the final of the invitational tournament, where either Jamaica or India will be waiting. It marks Zimbabwe's debut appearance in the competition.

Tembo's bold pre-match outlook

Tembo acknowledged the history between the two nations — Zimbabwe and Nigeria drew in their last two meetings — but insisted the Warriors must put those results aside and focus on the task ahead.
