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
