Zimbabwe in Kenya, 2008/09
Zimbabwe Beat Kenya Once Again, 2nd ODI
29-Jan-2009 20:32:00 IST

Mombasa: Zimbabwe again outplayed Kenya by a huge margin of 151 runs. They won the toss and batted first on a placid track scoring a mammoth total of 351 runs. Matsikenyeri and Waller shared a good partnership in the middle, with Chigumbura finishing the innings off with a blazing innings.

Once again Kenya, chasing a huge total were let down by their batsman as Zimababwean bowler's tightened the screw. Dabengwa and Creamer shared two wickets between them. 3rd ODI on 31st January in Nairobi.
 
It was the first time Zimbabwe had passed 300 in consecutive ODIs and they went beyond their previous best team effort of 340 for 2, set against Namibia in 2003. Chigumbura's late assault, where he found the boundary at will against an attack that had lost all confidence, made the difference between a handsome total and a record one. Unsurprisingly, Kenya never got close in the chase and fell to 200 all out in the 46th over with Thomas Odoyo unable to bat.

Chigumbura reached fifty off 22 balls, the second fastest by a Zimbabwean behind Doug Marillier, taking a combined 46 off the 48th and 49th overs bowled by Peter Ongondo and Nehemiah Odhiambo. Those two overs alone produced six fours and three sixes before Chigumbura finally fell off the penultimate ball of the innings. Zimbabwe's tactic of holding back their batting Powerplay for the final overs had worked perfectly.

Brief Score: Zimbabwe 351 for 7 (Matsikenyeri 90, Chigumbura 68, Waller 63) beat Kenya 200 (Tikolo 56) by 151 runs
