 Innocent Kurira, Sports Writer

ZIMBABWE will have JBC basketball side in the Basketball Africa League (Bal) last 16.

This was after they won their last group match in the qualifiers held at the University of Botswana last night.
JBC beat Munali Suns of Zambia 87-50.

The draw for the last 16 which will have the top clubs in Africa will be held later today.

Tashinga Chimba led all scorers with 17 points, while teammate and point guard Dyvonne Pfachi dropped 16 points and crashed seven boards.

Overally, Saul Phiri, Pfachi and Chimba were all on six points for JBC.

The Zimbabweans looked the more inspired of the two teams going into the second quarter and, at the third minute, were 29-13 up against the uncharacteristically sloppy Suns, who gave away 16 points from turnovers.

The match was their last assignment having won 70-55 over UNAM Wolves and lost 68-65 against hosts Dolphins in the four-team group.

Munali Suns were at the top of the charts as they were undefeated in their two games.

JBC will need to beat the Zambian team to stand a chance of progressing further in the competition.
Munali Suns had wins over Dolphins and Unam Wolves.

In their victory over Unam Wolves, JBC’s  Innocent Zhomwa led all scorers with 19 points, while his teammate, Tashinga Chimba, scored 17 points and crashed eight boards.

JBC’s win was no walk in the park, but they knew they had to shake off the disappointment of their opening-day defeat to the Dolphins.
