What’s at stake?
Nigeria head into the fixture looking to maintain their unbeaten record in the Unity Cup, having won all previous editions of the competition. However, Eric Chelle’s side will be wary of Zimbabwe after drawing each of their last three meetings against the Warriors.
The Unity Cup will also offer Chelle another opportunity to assess several new faces in the squad ahead of future international assignments, with players like Arthur Okonkwo, Femi Azeez, Owen Oseni and Rafiu Durosinmi expected to play important roles during the tournament.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, arrive in London with a youthful squad led by experienced stars Marvelous Nakamba and Marshall Munetsi as they aim to upset the defending champions.
The winner of the clash will advance to the final on May 30 to face either Jamaica or India.
