Player Picks
Collins Obuya KNA | ALL
The veteran Kenyan all-rounder has been at the center of the turnaround. The move of making Collins Obuya open the batting has worked well as the 42-year-old has scored two successive fifties. Kenya thanks to these efforts have been able to consolidate and make it to the next phase of the tournament.
Tadiwanashe Marumani ZIM | BAT
Young Zimbabwean opener Tadiwanashe Marumani has been in decent nick with the bat. Despite not having some of their senior players like Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, and Craig Ervine, Zimbabwe have been levels above others. Their easy passage into the semis and a possible medal will help them forget the pains of not making it to the T20 World Cup 2024.
Aarnav Patel KNA | BAT
Young Kenyan star spinner Aarnav Patel has continued his dream run with the ball. After picking a fifer in the previous game, the young spinner continued his good vein of from with figures of 3/22 from his 4 overs. This helped his Kenyan side achieve a crucial win against the Host side.
Rodney Mupfudza ZIM | BOWL
Zimbabwe have found a new opening batter in Mupfzda who has done well so far with the bat. His 39 not out in the previous game saw his side overcome the opposition with an easy ten wicket win.
Trevor Gwandu ZIM | ALL
The right arm medium pacer picked 2/10 and continued to sizzle with the ball. Zimbabwe have seen Trevor Gwandu bowl well and step up to the plate when the going gets tough. His timely wickets have helped his side keep the opposition under check.
Rakep Patel KNA | WK
Kenyan skipper Rakep Patel has not only done well with the bat but also chipped in with the ball. The 34-year-old picked 3/12 during a key game against Ghana on Wednesday. Patel has also shown his batting prowess with crucial knocks in the previous two games.

Gerard Muthui
KNA | ALL
The Kenyan spinner was expensive in his last game as he gave away 17 runs without picking a wicket. Gerard Muthui has been inconsistent with the ball so far in this tournament. This is a huge cause of concern for the Kenyan side led by Rakep Patel.
Emmanuel Bundi
KNA | BOWL
Considered the fastest bowler in the Kenyan setup it has been a tournament to forget for Emmanuel Bundi so far. His two overs cost his side 10 runs but there were no wickets to show for his efforts.
