Coming from a rough February where the team failed to pick up maximum points, the Perry Mutapa-drilled side will be looking at fighting for maximum three points in this match.

Match Review and Form guide
With only nine games remaining to conclude this campaign, the Pensioners will aim to strengthen their stay in the Super League but will first have to go past a rejuvenated Warriors side in today’s match.
Warriors have been a team to look out for under the tutelage of Numba Mumamba who has guided the team out of the relegation zone since joining the Kabwe based side.
Only three points separate these two sides with NAPSA Stars sitting on an unsafe 10th position while Kabwe Warriors are breathing hot in Pensioners ears with a pending three points to get past the Perry Mutapa drilled side.
However, it is clear that this will not be an easy battle especially that both sides are coming from recording draws in their previous fixtures.
