The above partnership was also the best for South Africa against Kenya bettering the previous best of 115 runs between Gibbs and Boeta Dippenaar at Kimberley on 14-10-2001.

Gibbs' 116 was now the highest by a South African in this competition bettering the 113 (not out) by Jacques Kallis against Sri Lanka at Dhaka on 30-10-1998.

Obuya's feat was the tenth such instance in LOI history.
