"WE NEED THE POINTS" - MABEDI

Flames coach, Patrick Mabedi, says his team will fight hard in order to get maximum points against Senegal on Friday as they do not have any point in their group but that will not come in an easy way.

He said this ahead of the match on Friday where he said the team is ready and had adapted well to the hot conditions in the country which will help them to have a good game.

He said he knows that Senegal is a very good team but at the end of the game, each team fields 11 players and they will strive for success.

"We need points as you know we don't have points so the points will help us to build much confidence when we are going home, I know it will not be easy but we need to dig much deeper if we are to get them." Said Mabedi.

He further said he is happy with the shape of the professional players who are looking better than the locals and expects a good game from them.

The team will play Senegal in their third match of their group having lost the first
