The Glamour Boys look to defeat the Simbas away, while the Sugar Millers welcome middle-table placed Heroes.
Shabana could not have made a worse start, as a poor touch in the sixth minute allowed Beja Nyamawi to steal the ball at the backline before poking it into an open goal from a few meters out.
Nyamawi was at it again in the 43rd minute when he added their second before the visitors pulled one back in the fourth minute of first half added time courtesy of Cornelius Lusaka after some sloppy Assad defending.
In the 48th minute, the hosts made it 3-1 through a brilliant exchange of passes, ending with Juma Pinda squaring for Nyamawi to sweep home from the middle of the penalty area.
