Kenya and Sri Lanka A, after a washed out last round between the same two teams, played in the final of the ICC Six Nations Challenge in Windhoek with Kenya eventually coming out on top with a three wicket win.

Asked to bat first, Sri Lanka started well with Jehan Mubarak continuing his late-tournament form, scoring 82 before being stumped. At the other end none of the Sri Lankan batsmen could consolidate and wickets fell at regular intervals.

Chinthaka Jayasinghe (28) and Thilan Samaraweera (20) had a short flourish in the middle of the innings allowing the Sri Lankans to finish on 211 having been bowled out in 49 overs.

Maurice Odumbe (2/30 in seven overs) was the early wicket taker but it was left to Steve Tikolo to race through the lower order taking 4/29 in his nine overs.

With a good pitch to bat on, the Sri Lankan total always looked about 40 runs short, and early runs from all the top order batsmen made it even harder to defend. David Obuya (41), Tikolo (39) and Kennedy Otieno (38) laid the foundation for the middle and lower order to take them to victory in the 44th over.

Akalanka Ganegama and Rangana Herath had limited success with the ball, both taking two wickets apiece.

Zimbabwe A finished third in the tournament followed by Namibia, who were the surprise of the tournament beating the more-fancied Kenyans in round three. A reverse of some very close last-over results for the hosts could have seen them contest the final.

Canada and Netherlands propped up the bottom end of the table, but gained valuable experience ahead of next year's World Cup in South Africa.
