The Under-21 Zimbabwe women's hockey coach, Brad Heuer, is hoping that his charges will replicate Monday's performances against Kenya.
This comes after the team set highlights on progressing to the finals of Africa Cup in Egypt after they beat the hosts.
Zimbabwe beat Egypt 4-0 after its unsatisfactory performance against South Africa on the opening day of the Junior Africa.
Heuer said, "We have a rest day,Tuesday, then we are up against Kenya on Wednesday and if we win that game then we book our ticket to the World cup later this year in Chile. So we are hoping for a good performance from the girls to just carry on the way we are going and keep our momentum.”
Zimbabwe will be holding their hopes on Elija and Mutsa Bera because last year they were part of the women's team at Africa Cup.
The country is presently on the second spot after their win, divided by Kenya on goal difference.
The game is serving as a condition to the hockey junior world cup with finalists qualifying.
"I am so happy with the performances. We managed to push the defeat behind us and focus on the game. We knew what we needed to do. They played a really great game," said Heuer.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe men's junior team's journey at the Africa Cup ended Monday evening after they lost 3 - 1 to Kenya.
