Kenya have done well in the World Cup and will be hoping to impress
the ICC even more by trying to carry on their good form. Zimbabwe
are regrouping after the retirements of seniors like Andy Flower
and will be looking to put away Kenya.

do have a browse of
lesser known ones in all the teams.
Sharjah as a cricket venue has grown year by year and last year
also hosted a Test series between Australia and Pakistan and this
Cup is a regular event.
The organisers invited Kenya and Zimbabwe to play a quadrangular
after South Africa withdrew for security concerns. Normally this
annual April event would
be a tri-nation between Pak, RSA and SL.
Weather, well as we said yesterday is going to be hotter reaching
90 with teperatures over the next few days going up more.

Zimbabwe will be pleased they restricted kenya to 225 with some
accurate bowking and not really letting a big partnership develop
Kenya too must be happy with 225 but possibly disappointed they
were unable to accelerate at the end to post a bigger total, they
had the opportunity but not the experience.
However, its goiung to be tough in the dew and under lights to get
this total, be here please in about an hour for the chase.

Was a bit of bother in the innings for Zimbabwe but although they
lost a few wickets at the death, held nerves after the matillier
100 and went for a fine win over Kenya
Kenyans were committed througout and probably regret not getting a
few more runs as Tikolo said in between innings
Kenyan filding was good till the last few overs when nerves told on
the substitute fielder
The points table shows Pak with 11, 5 for Zimbawe and 1 each for
Kenya and Sri Lanka with Kenya ahead on net run rate
On Sunday we will have Kenya v Sri Lanka starting at 11:00GMT and
its a key game
We shall soon have the cermonies and awards for you
Sri Lanka have called in Dharshana Gamage for Chaminda Vaas who has
a bad ankle
Ceremonies on now
Steve Tikolo says it looked a good total but we did not field too
well and thinks Collind Obuya did well
We need to improve our fielding and consolidate battin in the
middle overs
Most boundaries and highest score awards to marillier
Man of the Match award goes to Douglas Marillier for his fine ton
THats all folk please join us at 11AM GMT for the crucial Sri Lanka
v Kenya game tomorrow, Good Night all
