Zimbabwe completed a 5-0 series clean sweep over Kenya on Wednesday, winning the fifth and final match by seven wickets at the Nairobi Gymkhana club. Zimbabwe, propped up by an unbeaten third-wicket partnership of opener Hamilton Masakadza (84) and Sean Williams (63) easily surpassed their target with 15 overs to spare.
In a match dominated by seamers, Graeme Cremer claimed a career best 4-31 as Kenya were reduced to a paltry 199 after winning the toss. Raymond Price and Masakadza weighed in with two apiece. Kenyan all-rounder Collins Obuya was the Kenyan batsman to defy the Zimbabwean seam attack when he posted 75 off 108 balls. But it was all futile as the wickets fell around him.
Brief scores: Kenya 199 all out off 48.5 overs (Obuya 75, Cremer 4-31, Price 2-23, Masakadza 2-20. Zimbabwe 203-3 off 35 overs (Masakadza 84 n/o, Williams 63 n/o, Matsikenyeri 50).
