Cricket
Pakistan put up a polished performance in the inconsequential last league match with the young guns once again making their mark. Shoaib Malik scored an impressive 76 from 58 balls as Pakistan, which had earned a berth in Thursday's final, raised 286 for eight after electing to bat. Mohammad Sami then claimed four wickets as the World Cup heroes Kenya collapsed to 143 with more than 18 overs to spare to end its campaign without a single victory. The Kenyan resistance was limited to a sparkling 54-run knock from former captain Maurice Odumbe and his sixth wicket partnership with Hitesh Modi that yielded 53 runs. Once Odumbe, who struck six boundaries, was dismissed in the 29th over, Kenya collapsed like a pack of cards. In contrast, the Pakistani innings was built around fine contributions from a number of players. Apart from Malik, who hit six fours and a six in his knock, Misbah-ul Haq and Mohammad Hafeez also played valuable knocks of 42 and 36 runs respectively. Captain Rashid Latif made 38 off 30 balls which included two fours and two sixes. Sami returned with excellent figures of four for 25 from 6.4 overs.
