Kolkata: Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura won the toss and elected to bat first against Kenya in their Group A World Cup match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.
Tikolo leading Kenya today. Kamande not playing.
Zimbabwe made one change, leaving out Shingrai Masakadza for Chris Mpofu. Kenya have strengthened their bowling by picking Peter Ongondo, a medium-pacer, for wicketkeeper Maurice Ouma. David Obuya is likely to keep wicket.
Zimbabwe are desperate to prove they belong with cricket's big beasts as they wrap up their World Cup campaign on Sunday.
They have slumped to heavy defeats against all four of the qualifiers from Group A - Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - with their only victory coming against minnows Canada.
Kenya are rooted at the bottom of Group A with five defeats from five matches and the poorest run-rate at the World Cup by some distance.
Zimbabwe's slow bowlers have impressed, with left-arm spinner Raymond Price emerging as his team's leading wicket-taker with seven scalps in five games.
Off-spinner Prosper Utseya and leg-spinner Graeme Cremer have also succeeded in keeping pressure on the opposition.
Although they were never in the game against Australia on Sunday, Kenya will at least take credit from a battling performance by their batsmen, who batted the entire 50 overs to score 264-6 in response to 324.
Collins Obuya just missed out on a century and Tanmay Mishra scored 72.
Kenya captain Jimmy Kamande has urged cricket chiefs to give his side more top-class matches in between World Cups to raise standards.
