With the stage set for a perfect rematch at the Nyayo National Stadium Gymnasium, KPA and Equity Bank are gearing up for a thrilling showdown in the Kenya Basketball Federation women league title.
Despite winning Game Two of the final series playoffs at the weekend at the Makande Gymnasium in Mombasa, KPA head coach Mike Opel warned that winning the title won't be a walk in the park.
Opel noted that winning in Nairobi against Equity is not an easy task, but he hopes that their recent win on Sunday will motivate his players to register wins.
Team captain Brenda Angeshi believes that if they continue with team work, they will prevail in the three games left.
On the other hand, Equity head coach David Maina is upbeat that if his charges maintain focus, stick to their game plan, and inject more effort, they'll prevail in the three games left to retain the crown.
Equity won the title last season after defeating the then champions KPA, and it will be revenge on the cards when they collide in high stakes battle.
As the two teams clash in the high-stakes battle, the race for the title remains delicately balanced at 1-1 after the Bankers won Game One 63-59 before losing Game Two to the Dockers 56-50 at the latter's Coastal backyard.
