Olonga rips through Kenya

Bulawayo Dec. 15. Kenya lost the final of the three one-day internationals here on Sunday, unable to put up a decent score. Kenya was destroyed by a lively spell of pace bowling by Henry Olonga, who scalped six wickets.

Kenya, hoping for a better performance at the end of the tour, could only manage 133 in 28.5 overs in its build up to the World Cup in February.

Zimbabwe took an early grip on the match thanks to much improved bowling from Blignaut, back in following an ankle injury, and Hondo on an excellent batting pitch.

But fast bowler Henry Olonga was the main destroyer with six for 28 as Kenya failed to handle his accurate bowling.

Chasing 134 for victory, Zimbabwe lost Alistair Campbell early. However, M. Vermeulen and Andy Blignaut took the home team to victory in just 16 overs.
