Hamilton Masakadza smashed the 11th highest score in ODI history on Sunday when his career-best, unbeaten 178, led Zimbabwe to a 142-run win over Kenya.

The home side piled up 329-3 off 50 overs, their second 300-plus total of the series which they claimed 4-1.

Masakadza and fellow opener Forster Mutizwa put on on 127 by the 25th over for the first wicket before off-spinner Jimmy Kamande provided the breakthrough, having Mutizwa stumped for 55.

Brendan Taylor joined Masakadza and the two then put on 102 for the second wicket with Taylor hitting three fours and three sixes.

Masakadza reached his century and his 167-ball effort yielded 17 fours and five sixes.

Kenya then slumped to 85 for 5 with Chris Mpofu claiming three wickets.

Jimmy Kamande top-scored with 37 as Kenya were all out for 187 in 39.3 overs.
