At Sharjah, April 5, 2003 (day/night). Zimbabwe won by five wickets. Zimbabwe 5 pts, Kenya 1
pt. Toss: Kenya.
Zimbabwe, humiliated by Kenya in their recent World Cup match, appeared to be cruising to
a comfortable win as Marillier, who hit a maiden one-day international hundred, and Flower added
130. Together, they took Zimbabwe within 28. But the loss of both - and Blignaut - inside three
overs set up a closer-than-expected finish. The captain, Streak, hit 14 off six balls to make sure.
Earlier, David Obuya had reached his first fifty in one-day internationals as Streak juggled an
eight-man attack. However, Kenya could make only 56 from their final ten overs: a little more
might have made a big difference.
Man of the Match: D. A. Marillier.
