With captain, Ocean Mushure out of the clash due to suspension, coach Lloyd Mutasa has given Mwerahari the armband.
Mushure is suspended for today’s game after picking up yellow cards in matches against FC Platinum, Ngezi Platinum and Hwange.
Mutasa yesterday said they were approaching the game with caution.
“How Mine are a strong team, and the fact that they beat us, they will be high on confidence. Every team that plays against Dynamos will be more motivated than ever. So we expect a tough match. We will approach it like any other match and we hope the better team on the day will win,” he said.
DeMbare go into the match hoping to avenge the defeat they suffered in the reverse fixture, when Toto Banda scored the only goal that made the difference at the National Sports Stadium.
However, Dynamos have been in top form in their last five matches, with the only setback being the 3-1 defeat to FC Platinum.
