1 comments
It was a one way traffic when sub-continent expert Srilanka were up against Kenya.Srilankan team brought back their star bowler Malinga into the team for this game.







Much was expected from Kenyan team after their shaky performance in earlier matches, but every thing went same as Sri Lanka won the match by 9 wickets.

Batting first Kenya was expecting a decent total but SriLanka have other plans in mind. Opening spell of Kulasekara and Malinga was not only economical but also added two wickets in srilankan kitty.

Obuyo brothers then produced individual half centuries. But their pace of batting was not suitable to a one day inning .Collin Obuyo took 100 balls to reach 52 mark while David Obuyo took 106 balls to reach his 51 runs.

The Kenyans were looking to get a comfortable 200+ but then came a memorable spell of Maligna. He took a ha-trick and completed his 6 wicket spell in 7.4 overs giving away only 38 runs. He bowled some splendid yorkers and looked like taking wickets on his will.

Chasing a total of 143 runs Srilankan openers start toying the Kenyan bowlers. Dilshan was only player to get out on 44 runs .Captain Sangakara and opener Upul Tharanga then lead Srilanka to a comfortable winin 18.4 overs.
