We saw some good cricket from these sides today. Afghanistan and Kenya were against each other and this was their second match. Kenya batted first and their start was good as opening players scored good runs. CO Obuya and NN Odhianmbo came first in the opening pair. Obyua remained not out and scored 690 runs out of 49 balls, in this score included 6 fours and 1 six. Odhiambo scored 41 runs in 31 balls. So in total Kenya gave a target of 149 runs to be scored in 20 over.

 

Then Afghanistan came for batting. Sadly their opening pair could not do anything exceptional. First wicket fell on 19 runs and second on 23 runs. Only player who could able to score a respectable score is Nawro Mangal, he scored 36 runs in 23 balls. The whole opening order and middle order of Afghanistan was out in single figures. Slowly the whole team was moving towards the defeat as the wickets were falling continuously and run rate was also increasing fast. Finally in 20 over they were only able to score 115 runs. E Otieno from the Kenya side did the best bowling and took 3 wickets in four over.
