Zim to play Kenya and USA warm ups

[fwullah]

Zimbabwe are set to play 2 warm up matches against Kenya and USA before the actual ICC trophy games.

I wonder how they'll perform.

[mahbubH]

we could play a practice match with Kenya at least to see where are we actually.

[nishy]

i would say kenya will suck this time. last world cup they've just got lucky yo reach the semi-final

[Rubu]

i do not think they were lucky. but i also think they will do bad. odumbe is the reason. they depend on odumbe and tickolo too much. without woumbe, they do not become too much of short handed, but becomes unbalanced.

I think I have a different opinion here. Kenya might beat Zimbabwe. Well, I could be wrong. Kenya is a good one day team. I consider them the most important rival of Bangladesh, as Pakistan of India or vice versa.

Any idea of when they will be playing these warm ups?

Tomorrow, wednesday I believe. The following is an extract from today's Independent newspaper in the UK.

------
Hurricane Frances has even reached out to these shores, although thankfully not climatically. The 100mph winds caused three members of the United States one-day international squad to be stranded in Florida and they will not be arriving in this country until later this week.

It left the unfancied Americans with a bare XI for yesterday's warm-up match against Bangladesh at the Metropolitan Police Sports Ground in Imber Court, South-west London, as they got down to final preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy which starts on Friday. By the time all three players - Donovan Blake, Tony Reid and Leon Romero - arrive their colleagues will have become better acclimatised to English conditions after playing their second friendly against Zimbabwe tomorrow at the same venue.

I think Chinaman has a phone number if you want to know the score.

And Zimbabwe beat Kenya in the last over with Kenya chasing 240 to win.

trueblue, do you have a scorecard link for the zim kenya match?

[Trueblue]

No. I haven't seen a scorecard. A BBC report I read didn't have one for example.
