Zimbabwe in Kenya 2008/09

Zimbabwe Beat Kenya By 7-wickets, Win Series 5-0

Nairobi: Zimbabwe sealed the five-match series, a lopsided battle of the minnows, with a seven-wicket win in Nairobi to record a clean sweep. They were barely challenged, save for two early wickets, in their chase of a modest 200 as Hamilton Masakadza, Stuart Matsikenyeri and Sean Williams compiled attacking half-centuries to steer them home with 15 overs to spare.

Despite an early wobble, Zimbabwe strolled home to a very comfortable 7-wicket win over hosts Kenya in Nairobi, with Sean Williams and Hamilton Masakadza the chief destroyers.

The win was set up by the Zimbabwe spinners, led by Graeme Cremer, who took 4 for 31, while Masakadza picked up 2 for 20, which he backed up with his run-a-ball 84. A seventh-wicket partnership of 75 between Collins Obuya and Rajesh Bhudia helped Kenya claw back from a middle-order collapse in a desperate bid to save face in a series already lost.

Brief Score: Zimbabwe 203 for 3 (Masakadza 84*, Williams 63*) beat Kenya 199 (Obuya 75, Budhia 40, Cremer 4-31, Price 2-23) by seven wickets.
