Zimbabwe's captain Marvelous Nakamba insists his squad is mentally prepared for Tuesday's Unity Cup semi-final against Nigeria's Super Eagles.

The Warriors touched down in Birmingham last Thursday to begin their preparations for the invitational tournament. They relocated to London on Sunday ahead of the clash.

Nakamba told reporters the team has trained hard ahead of facing the three-time African champions. "Everyone's pushing each other in training and morale is high," he noted.

According to the Zimbabwe skipper, players are eager for the contest at the Valley. He's hopeful Zimbabwean supporters will show up in large numbers.

Coach Kaitano Tembo's side faces Nigeria on Tuesday night at 7:30pm Nigerian time. Both teams are chasing a spot in the Unity Cup final.
