The PSO Tri-Nation Tournament was a One Day International cricket tournament hosted by Kenya in 2002. The hosts were joined by Australia and 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 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.
