“In terms of the tournament, I think we sort of decided among ourselves that a top 12 finish would be the best.”
Heuer added: “It’s going to be a tough tournament with lot of tough teams. We are in a pretty tough group, so, we will be really happy with a top 12 finish.”
Heuer is excited to play at such a big tournament considering the team is coming from a small country like Zimbabwe.
