The Warriors sit bottom of Group C with four points, nine behind leaders South Africa, with only four matches remaining.
Despite their position, recent performances have shown resilience and fight.
In March, Zimbabwe staged a remarkable comeback against Benin.
Trailing 2-0, goals from Marshal Munetsi and veteran striker Knowledge Musona salvaged a 2-2 draw, showcasing the team’s determination.
The Warriors also earned a crucial point against Nigeria in Uyo.
After Victor Osimhen put the Super Eagles ahead in the 74th minute, Tawanda Chirewa stunned the home crowd with a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw.
With four games left, Zimbabwe needs nothing short of a miracle to qualify.
But recent performances hint that the Warriors are not ready to give up.
Their next test against Rwanda will be critical.
If the team can replicate the spirit shown in March and against Nigeria, they might still keep their faint World Cup dream alive.
