In yet another mismatch in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy, Pakistan defeated Kenya by seven wickets. Put into bat first Kenya were cruising well at one stage with 67 runs on the board and only one wicket down, but they lost last nine wickets adding only 27 runs to their total to be bundled out for 94.

Kenya's collapse is now the second worst 9-wicket collapse in the One-Day International history second only to Pakistan who were all at sea against West Indies at Cape Town in 1992-93 Total International Series.

The following table lists the worst 9 wicket collapses in ODIs. It may be noted that only the worst collapses in an innings have been taken into consideration. Any other possible permutations and combinations in the same innings have been excluded.

16 Pakistan (43) 10-0 26-9 WI Cape Town 25 Feb 1993
27 Kenya (94) 67-1 94-10 Pak Edgbaston 15 Sep 2004
29 Sri Lanka (55) 22-0 51-9 WI Sharjah 03 Dec 1986
30 Zimbabwe (35) 5-0 35-9 SL Harare 25 Apr 2004
