10 July
No batsman reached 50 in the Bermudian innings, but solid contributions from Brown (48), Blades (45) and Douglas (36) guided them to a reasonable 231/8 from their 60 overs. Duncan Fletcher was the pick of the Zimbabwean bowlers with 3-34 from nine overs. Zimbabwe looked in a spot of bother at 30/2 with both openers gone, but the match and the Trophy were decided by half-centuries from Andy Pycroft, who made 82, and Craig Hodgson (57 not out); the Africans won with more than five overs to play with.
