Date-stamped : 17 Oct97 - 06:23 Kenya crash despite setting record From Shaun Orange in Nairobi Despite setting a world record of 199 for the seventh wicket in one-day international cricket, Kenya crashed for the second time to Zimbabwe in the Trust Bank Tri-Nations tournment at the Aga Khan Sports Club yesterday. Thomas Odoyo (41) and Tony Suji (67) eclipsed the previous best for the seventh wicket in limited-overs internationals beating the stand-off by Jeff Dujon and Malcolm Marshall of the West Indies in Gujranwala in 1988. However, the Kenyans' accomplishment yesterday was not enough in the home team's total of 207-9 in their 50 overs and Zimbabwe ran out comfortable winners by seven wickets as they tallied 210-3, with more than seven overs to spare. Man-of-the-Match Andy Flower led the way for the visiting side as he scored his fourth half-century on the trot in the competition as was also responsible for a stumping and taking two catches behind the wicket. Zimbabwe got off to a solid start in their chase for victory when Andy and his brother Grant put on 124 for the first wicket. Andy Flower fell for 66 when he skied the ball to substitue Joseph Angara at long-on off the bowling of Steve Tikolo. The left-handed batsman reached the boundary eight times, faced 26 balls and was at the crease for one hour 35 minutes. Grant top-scored with 71 before he was adjudged leg before wicket. He cracked five fours and a six in a 127-minute innings that included 85 balls. Guy Whittall, who finished unbeaten on 20, also picked up three wickets for 34 in his 10 overs, while Paul Strang and Mpumelelo Mbangwa showed good form with the ball. Strang was not among the wickets, but his eight overs cost just 18 runs, while Mbangwa's eight overs brought him two wickets for a mere 24 runs. With the round-robin stage now complete, Zimbabwe and Kenya prepare for the best-of-three finals, which get under way at the Gymkhana Sports Club tomorrow. Zimbabwe are due to train this morning, before announcing their team later in the day, coach Dave Houghton said yesterday. Zimbabwe Cricket Union President, Peter Chingoka, who arrived in this city on Wednesday night, said he was pleased with the team's showing yesterday and called on the side to go all the way.
