Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A SUPERB century by Maurice Odumbe, his second in three games, propelled Kenya into the 1996 World Cup as they beat Bermuda by 64 runs in the first ICC Trophy semi-final in Nairobi yesterday.
He scored 158 not out, including 11 fours and three sixes, to help Kenya reach 318 for 5 and then took 3 for 49 as Bermuda were restricted to 254 for 9.
Clay Smith was Bermuda's top scorer with 108 but his innings ended controversially. After being judged lbw, although the ball appeared to be missing leg stump, Smith remonstrated with the Namibian umpire, Louis van Reenen, who reported him to the match referee.
The World Cup will not be shown on British network television after CPP1, a consortium of cable stations, yesterday bought the exclusive rights for pounds 7.5m.
