Jiangsu Suning striker Tabitha Chawinga is relishing the opportunity to renew her rivalry with Shanghai Shengli counterpart Barbra Banda in Saturday's Chinese Women's Super League clash in Kunming.
The African duo last faced each other at the Cosafa Women's Cup in 2017 when Banda scored once as Zambia thrashed Malawi 6-3 despite Chawinga bagging a hat-trick in Zimbabwe.
Following a back-to-back CWSL Best Player of the Year awards, Chawinga has maintained her dominance in China, scoring four goals in four matches on her third season with Jiangsu.
