Zimbabwe in Kenya, 2008/09

Zimbabwe Beat Kenya By 109-runs in 1st ODI

Mombasa: Vusi Sibanda's 77 and a brutal 38-ball 79 from Elton Chigumbura led Zimbabwe to a 109-run thrashing of Kenya in the first of five one-dayers, in Mombasa. Set a towering 307 to win, Kenya lost four early wickets inside the first sixteen overs and, despite Jimmy Kamande's best efforts with 74, he was given little support.

Zimbabwe have dominated Kenya over the years, winning 15 times out of 22, but they've struggled in recent meetings, losing three of the last four. Today, however, their batsmen asserted their authority on Kenya's wayward bowling attack as Sibanada and Hamilton Masakadza got them off to a brisk start, putting on 111 for the first wicket.

Brief Score: Zimbabwe 306 for 7 (Chigumbura 79, Sibanda 77, Masakadza 71) beat Kenya 197 (Kamande 74, Rainsford 2-19, Chigumbura 2-23) by 109 runs.
