"Zimbabwe is a great team with strong players. If you watch the game, we were supposed to win by at least 98 percent," Chelle said. Interim Zimbabwe coach Kaitano Tembo, who replaced Michael Nees, commended his team's commitment: "The energy and commitment from the players were very positive. Every training session matters."
