Chasing 134 to win after dismissing Kenya in 30.3 overs, Pakistan lost two early wickets when Saeed Anwar was out for a duck in the first over, caught by David Obuya off the bowling of Martin Suji, and Imran Nazir was bowled by Thomas Odoyo in the fourth over for 13. Shahid Afridi came in at number three and blasted 27 off 22 balls, including two huge 6s and three 4s, before he was caught by Odoyo off the bowling of Martin Suji in the ninth over. Younis Khan and Azhar Mahmood pushed Pakistan past 50, but Mahmood was run out for nine in the 18th over with the score on 61. Four overs later, Abdul Razzaq was bowled by Joseph Angara for one. Younis Khan was out in the 28th over, trapped leg before wicket by Collins Obuya for 36, leaving Pakistan on 97 for six. But Inzamam-ul Haq and Rashid Latif saw Pakistan home, with Latif hitting a 4 and two 6s to finish the match.
Waqar Younis got the first breakthrough, trapping Ravindu Shah leg before wicket in the fourth over for two. Akram then claimed three quick wickets, trapping both Tikolo (0) and Thomas Odoyo (4) leg before wicket and bowling Maurice Odumbe for a duck, leaving Kenya on 30 for four in the ninth over. Just 36 runs — mostly extras — came off the first 10 overs. But Obuya and Hitesh Modi steadied the innings and increased the run rate, taking Kenya past 100 in the 19th over, before Modi was forced off the field after being hit on the finger by fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar. Modi, who had made 34 off 32 balls as he and Obuya shared a partnership of 71, will be out for two weeks with a hairline fracture, Tikolo said. Obuya was joined by his brother David who faced five balls before being caught by Younis off the bowling off Razzaq for a duck. There are three Obuya brothers in the Kenyan team, and Collins Obuya was next out for one, leaving Kenya struggling on 104 for six. Razzaq bowled Kennedy Obuya in the 24th over, and Modi came back on to the field but was caught behind by Rashid Latif off the same bowler one over later without adding to his score. Tony Suji ended not out 17 as Kenya was bowled out with nearly 20 overs left. — AP
