Sri Lanka `A' and Kenya, the top two teams in the ICC Six Nations' Challenge currently underway in Windhoek, Namibia, are scheduled to meet on Thursday, April 11, 2002, to decide the first of the two places in the final.
Sri Lanka `A' continues to head the points table with three wins from as many matches. Kenya is second, also with three wins. Both Sri Lanka `A' and Kenya have collected 12 points so far.
Thursday's winner will automatically qualify for the final with four wins. The losing team would continue to be second in the points table and is likely to be the second finalist, but would not clinch the spot until the last round robin matches on Saturday.
The six teams in the tournament are playing each other in a round robin format, with the top two teams entering the final on Sunday, April 14. The other teams are The Netherlands, Canada and Namibia.
