[edit]Final
[edit]Kenya chose to bat in front of a 3,000 person home crowd but started poorly, slumping to 50/4. A partnership between Steve Tikolo and Maurice Odumbe helped resurrect the Kenyan innings to a relatively respectable 161, losing their last wicket after 47 overs. Dutch bowler Floris Jansen took four wickets for twenty runs. The Netherlands started their innings well, led by Peter Cantrell who scored 68 not out on the way to chase down the target after 39 overs. Jansen was awarded the Man of the Match for his bowling.[2]
