Zimbabwe Women's national football team need a point from its last Cosafa Cup pool match against Botswana to go through to the semi-finals of the tournament which is being held in South Africa.
The Mighty Warriors go into the match as the table toppers with six points from two matches compared to Botswana's four.
The Mighty Warriors defeated Lesotho and Namibia in their first two matches, keeping clean sheets in both.
Namibia have a single point from their draw against Botswana while Lesotho are anchoring the table and are yet to taste a win at this tournament.
The Mighty Warriors had an impressive start to the tournament as they opened the campaign with a 1-0 victory over Lesotho. They went on to outclass Namibia 2-0.
Botswana is a dangerous side and has the potential to cause a heartbreak in the Mighty Warriors camp.
They thrashed Zimbabwe 3-1 at home in an African Women Championship qualifier before the Mighty Warriors won the reverse fixture 2-0.
Zimbabwe coach Shadreck Mlauzi will approach the tie with confidence and caution.
