Kenya clinched the 2024 Kenya Quadrangular Cup championship despite not playing the final match against Malawi.
The match was scheduled to start at 1:30 PM EAT at Sikh Union Club, Nairobi on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, but was abandoned due to the ongoing rains in Kenya’s capital and soggy grounds.
Kenya was declared the winners as they topped the overall standings with 17 points.
The hosts entered the final match with an impressive 8-game winning streak and aimed to extend it against Malawi.
Malawi secured the silver medal by finishing second in the standings with 9 points.
The 3rd place playoff between Rwanda and Zambia, also set at the same venue, met the same fate and was cancelled by officials.
Zambia were declared the bronze medalists as they finished third on the table with 5 points.
Neil Mugabe and Shem Ngoche finished the
tournament as the Kenyan players with most runs and most wickets respectively.
