Published on July 11, 2019, Kenya's national women's volleyball team, Malkia Strikers, will face a crucial test as they take on defending champions Cameroon in their final group 'B' match at the ongoing 2019 Women's African Nations Championship at October 6 Hall in Giza, Egypt.
The team, led by coach Shaileen Ramdoo, will be out to avenge their loss to Cameroon in the 2017 final. Kenya has so far maintained a perfect record, winning two consecutive matches against Algeria and Botswana without dropping a set.
A win for Kenya will ensure they avoid hosts Egypt in the semifinals, a prospect that would be a significant boost for the team.
Kenya's triumph over Botswana in three sets to nil is a testament to their growing strength and determination.
Other matches in the tournament include Morocco against Senegal and Algeria against Botswana.
The continental showpiece will act as a ranking event for African teams.
