Result: ZIZimbabwe — Zimbabwe won by forfeit — match not played. ZIZimbabwe , ENEngland . February 13, 2003 · Harare Sports Club, Harare.
England refused to travel to Harare, citing safety concerns and political objections to the Mugabe government (the UK government had advised against travel). No ball was bowled; Zimbabwe was awarded the match as a walkover with full points. Recorded here as a Zimbabwe win for standings purposes, consistent with this site's convention for the 2007 forfeited/awarded matches, though unlike those this one genuinely had no toss or play of any kind.
