Gems aims high at World Cup

THE Zimbabwe netball team has set its eyes on winning the 2023 Netball World Cup or at least lend a top-four finish at the global showcase which kicks off in Cape Town, South Africa, this Friday.

Also known as the Gems, the team is taking part in a second consecutive World Cup tournament after making an impressive debut in Liverpool, United Kingdom, four years ago where they finished eighth.

Zimbabwe were drawn in Pool A alongside 2019 World Cup runners-up Australia, Fiji and Tonga at the tournament which runs from July 28 to August 6.
