The final took place between South Africa and Pakistan at the Gymkhana Club Ground in Nairobi. Pakistan had qualified for the final by edging past Sri Lanka on net run rate, largely due to their first innings effort of 9 for 371 when the two teams met.

Saeed Anwar won the toss for Pakistan and elected to bat first. They were all out of 203 in the 46th over with Donald and Crookes taking 3 wickets each. Ijaz Ahmed top scored for Pakistan with 47. In reply the South Africans started off well, putting on 77 for the 1st wicket before Shahid Afridi took a couple of quick wickets. Gary Kirsten finished unbeaten on 118 off just 127 as his side reached their target in the 39th over. Kirsten was named as the Man of the Match.
