Another easy win for West Indies

NAIROBI, AUG. 19. The West Indies beat Kenya by six wickets with four overs to spare in the second of three one-day internationals here on Saturday. The Caribbeans now lead the series 2-0.

Kenya, which batted first, succumbed to Reon King and Colin Stuart and was shot out for 192 off 49.1 overs. King finished with four wickets and Stuart two as the host gained some respectability through a 66-run last wicket stand between Kamande (32 not out) and Ochieng (36).

When the West Indians chased the modest total in the afternoon, the Kenyans surprised the crowd with their tight fielding. At one stage, the West Indies was wobbling at 17 for three with the top three batsmen consumed by Martin Suji.

However, a 91-run partnership between Marlon Samuels and Shivnarine Chanderpaul pulled the team to safety. Samuels was bowled by Collins Omondi for 46 but Chanderpaul (87) and skipper Carl Hooper (33) ensured victory with an unbeaten 85-run stand.
