Nairobi final washed out

Published October 27, 2008

NAIROBI, Oct 26: Heavy rain washed away the final of the Nairobi Tri-Series between hosts Kenya and Zimbabwe here on Saturday.

It was the fourth consecutive game scheduled for the Nairobi Gymkhana ground to be washed out without a ball being bowled.

Overnight rain had delayed the planned 9.30am start and then the outfield failed to dry despite the sunshine. Play was officially called off an hour later with the teams sharing trophy.

Only three matches were possible in the tournament, with each team winning a game. Ireland failed to make the final on the basis of net run-rate.—AFP
