Zimbabwe international Khama Billiat said that the friendly game against Nigeria is to assess the country’s readiness for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
Before making their fourth Afcon appearance in Egypt, Zimbabwe have two friendly matches, against the Super Eagles and the Black Stars of Ghana, to intensify their preparations.
Ahead of Saturday’s showdown in Asaba, Billiat believes that the games will make the Warriors “tougher” as they aim to progress from the group stage.
“We’re here to test our level of preparation for the Nations Cup.
