NAIROBI, Kenya -- Bermuda summarily saw off the threat of Fiji on Saturday but go into today's final group D match against Denmark needing a victory to advance further in the ICC Trophy tournament.

With three wins from as many matches, Bermuda could still miss out on the quarter-final stage with a loss as they have a lesser run rate than both leaders Hong Kong and Denmark.

Hong Kong, who have completed their group series, have already qualified for the last eight though they await today's result to see if they will be first or second.

The tournament's highest score of 355 for eight against West Africa on Saturday boosted Hong Kong's run rate to 4.96. Denmark, who are third on eight points, have a run rate of 4.07 while Bermuda improved to 3.80 after getting the required runs in 16.0 overs.

Opening batsman Dexter Smith continued his fairy-tale introduction into the ICC competition with his second unbeaten half century in three innings.

Smith scored 56 not out from 60 balls but was beaten out for a second man-of-the-match award by Clevie Wade, who led what is turning into an impressive bowling attack by taking four for 28 from 9.4 overs.

After losing the toss and being asked to field, Bermuda had to wait until the sixth over for a breakthrough. Anthony Edwards, Bermuda's leading wicket-taker with nine, struck twice with his first and last balls.

Steven Campbell was out lbw for eight with the score 19 and two runs later Edwards bowled Taoine Cakacaka for two.

The next over saw Terry Burgess strike for his only wicket of the day, Dean Minors taking the first of four catches behind the stumps to send Cecil Browne back without scoring.

Wickets fell at regular intervals from here as Wade and Noel Gibbons were introduced after 10 overs and closed out the innings.

Number two bat Lesi Sorovakatini gave a creditable performance in outlasting nine partners before he was the final man out for a personal contribution of 41. The innings lasted 91 balls and contained three fours.

Like Edwards from that end before him, Wade had movement in the air and also off the grassy pitch at Nairobi Cricket Club with Minors in scintillating form in support.

Gibbons finished with two for 22 from 10 overs while Edwards had two for 17 from five and Burgess one for 10 from five.

Bermuda were rarely in doubt while avenging the infamous 1990 defeat to Fiji once Smith and captain Albert Steede strode to the wicket.

The early overs were tight and only 13 came from the first five. But once Steede took eight of nine from the sixth, bowled by Jone Seuvou, the scoring rate continued to rise as Smith hit full flow.

The score was 52 in the 12th over when Fiji captain Joeli Mateyawa got one to leave Steede off the pitch in his first over and Campbell held the catch at first slip.

Smith carried on in aggressive mood and newly partnered by Clay Smith (eight not out), saw through the rest of the innings with little ado.

The left-hander, who leads the tournament averages at a mark of 154.00, struck seven fours in 62 minutes.

All focus now is rightly on Denmark, a team Bermuda have never beaten in ICC competition. The last time the teams met was in the third-place play-off in 1986, which Denmark won.

Ole Mortensen, the mean right-arm medium-pacer who toured Bermuda with English county side Derbyshire last year, is the anchor of the Danes bowling attack.
