"We are throwing the gauntlet on this one. We will continue to work hard.

About Aces:



"Aces is a decent Team and we will approach them with due respect like we always do with all our opponents,"



His players:



"We are watching Musona until the last minute of selecting the final squad. Otherwise everybody is fit and looking forward to the game,"
