Kenya was the non-full-member team that reached the 2003 Cricket World Cup semi-finals.
Kenya’s run was one of the tournament’s great upsets. After progressing to the Super Six stage, the team benefited from New Zealand forfeiting their match in Nairobi because of security concerns. Kenya then defeated Zimbabwe in the Super Sixes, helping secure a place in the knockout phase.
In the semi-final at Durban, Kenya faced India. India made 270 for 4, led by Sourav Ganguly’s century and a strong contribution from Sachin Tendulkar. Kenya was bowled out for 179, ending its historic campaign, but the achievement remains unmatched by any non-Test-playing nation in the men’s World Cup.
Kenya was an ICC Associate member rather than a full member with Test status. The Netherlands, Canada and Ireland were also notable Associate sides in World Cup history, but none of those teams reached the 2003 semi-finals.
