Rain rules in Nairobi

The Tri-Nations one-day international between Ireland and Zimbabwe in Nairobi was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.

Ireland had been looking to avenge last Friday’s 156-run defeat by Zimbabwe, but an overnight downpour prevented the players from taking the field this morning.

Both sides have been awarded two points, and Kenya will leapfrog Ireland in the table if they beat them tomorrow.
