I really can't believe the playing 11 of Cricinfo. Cricbuzz shows that Mutizwa has replaced Sibanda, and Cremer and Taibu are playing. That is more believable. Very good selection.


That makes more sense. Maybe Cricinfo hired the writers from the Daily Nation, hence the confusion.

Dabengwa out now going for another big one, what a partnership though, 41 in 13 balls !!

Yet another maximum gives Elton Chigumbura a new ODI career best 😂

21 runs, 6 balls.

Can he do it?

Pricey :4: and we get to 300! Chigs needs 21 in the last over!
ZCF Hall of Famer
and pricy comes in and hits a four and brings up the 300

last over and chigumbura on strike
wow- 58 runs off the last 3 overs- absolute murder
gone- no 100 there

79 off 38 balls at a strike rate of 208

Well, at least he went down fighting. What a fantastic knock, and thank God that we got to 300. It makes me very happy we got to 300, it was vital if we are to hammer the Kenyans.
305/7 an excellent score on a slow wicket

'morning all... Just released from the meeting from hell, and my morning was brightened by reading of Boom Boom's exploits. Would have loved to have seen video of those last few overs.

Now, let's see Pricey & co tie them in knots and win this by a mile...

How things can change, i was a bit on the depressed side when Sibanda went at 188-4, but we then get an amazing 117 runs from the remaining 8.3 overs !!

I do find the balance of the Zim bowling a little strange today with only Masakadza to offer any seam back up to Rainsford and Chigumbura, the way things have gone this morning though i would expect Chigumbura to take 7 or 8 wickets.

Hopefully Cremer will get a few overs to get rid of the cobwebs, if it's turning then him, Utseya and Price should be a handful.

I'm getting a little worried about Dabengwa, he seems to be making a regular contribution to the side ;)

Well played,Zimbabwe! :D

Congrats Chigumbura 79 in 38 bowls with 7 sixes!If I could see the video!

Well done Masakadza and today who got his form back Sibanda.Good to see Mutizwa playing,20 in 16 bowls.Good knock!Good aggressive batting by Dabengwa 17 in 5 bowls!

Zimbabwe should try to bowl out Kenya under 200 I think...

cricinfo seem to have just given us another run, so it's 306-7 now.

Masakadza has gone up to 71, i'm sure they had him down for 69 and Sibanda is now 77, wasn't he shown originally as 78 ?

Wicket number one for Chigumbura :D

He may have missed out on a ton but can he get 10 wickets ?

Kenya 8-1
