Kenya took revenge for Saturday's demoltion job by Zimbabwe, winning the 2nd ODI in equally convincing style. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field, but if they were hoping the Kenyan batsmen would perform as poorly as in the first game of the series, they were disappointed. Captain Steve Tikolo led with way, scoring 98 on the way to a Kenyan total of 284/7 from their 50 overs.
As the Kenyan batting improved, so the Zimbabwean batting collapsed, with both Terrence Duffin (3) and Hamilton Masakadza (4) failing to make much impression on the scorers. Newcomers Piet Rinke (54) and Keegan Meth (53) attempted to steady the ship, but the target proved too much and the home team finally ended on 205 all out after 46.2 overs.
The series is now finely balanced at 1-1, and the teams now move to Harare for the remaining three games. Zimbabwe have shown they can beat Kenya, and beat them convincingly - although after today's results you have to wonder if they believe than themselves.
