Published on December 20, 2019, the stakes are high in the final match of the five-game series between Equity Bank and Kenya Ports Authority to determine the 2019 women Kenya Basketball Federation league champions.
Equity Bank, the defending champions, are looking to retain the title, while Kenya Ports Authority, who last won in 2017, are determined to take it back.
The two teams have been neck and neck, with each side boasting two wins apiece after four games. The final match is expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams' coaches confident of their teams' chances.
