Kenya - rained off; but restricted Border to 194/8 in 50 overs and thus everyone saying that they would have won it had not the rain came along

Namibia - won their match against Gauteng by 6 wickets - comprehensive victory

West Indies - beat Free State by 41 runs - courtesy of Chanderpaul 97 and other batsman scoring runs - including Lara and Gayle

Bangladesh - beaten by Kwa-Zulu-Natal - Bangladesh being a team that will never win

Cricket-World-Bangladesh slump to defeat in warm-up match

LADYSMITH, South Africa, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Bangladesh paid the price for over-ambitious strokeplay in a World Cup warm-up match on Monday, losing to KwaZulu Natal by 38 runs at Settlers Park.
In a game reduced to 35 overs a side after the start was delayed by three and a half hours because of early morning rain, Bangladesh were bowled out for 153 in 28.2 overs, Al-Sahariar top-scoring with 45.

KwaZulu Natal earlier rattled up 191 for six with Doug Watson hitting 50, Hashim Amla 48 and South Africa A player Gulam Bodi a 20-ball 39.

"We were in a good position early on in the run-chase but lost wickets too quickly by trying to hit too many big shots," said Bangladesh captain Khaled Mashud.

Bangladesh, who are in Group B with South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Canada, begin their campaign against Canada in Durban on February 11.

The Bangladeshis beat Pakistan at their first World Cup in England four years ago.
