The '''PSO Tri-Nation Tournament''' was a [[One Day International]] cricket tournament hosted by Kenya in 2002. The hosts were joined by [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] and [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]] for the [[Round-robin tournament]] where each team played one another twice. The tournament acted as good preparation for the teams as the continent would be hosting the [[2003 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] half a dozen months later.

After topping the group, the unbeaten Australians took on Pakistan in the final. The Pakistanis batted first and posted 227 but with Australia at 1 for 67 in their chase the rain intervened and the game was declared a 'no result'. The tournament was thus shared between Australia and Pakistan. Man of the series went to one man from each team, [[Matthew Hayden]], [[Misbah-ul-Haq]] and [[Martin Suji]].
