At Kwekwe, December 11, 2002. Zimbabwe won by 47 runs (D/L method). Toss: Kenya.
This was the first Zimbabwean one-day international held outside Harare and Bulawayo, and
the Midlands authorities were blessed with slightly drier weather than most of the country. Campbell
batted slowly at first to regain his form, but opened up later, while Kwekwe-born Friend, sent in
as a pinch-hitter, attacked from the start to score 91 at a run a ball. The one bowler nobody could
dominate was Martin Suji, who bowled ten overs without a break for 17 runs and the wicket of
Vermeulen. Despite an aggressive fifty from Otieno, who survived several chances, Kenya were
never in the hunt; when bad light and rain halted them, six overs from the end, they were 181
for six against a par score of 228.
Man of the Match: T. J. Friend.
