Bhatti strikes again this time getting Tikolo for a duck. Kenya now 4/31.

This is ridiculous. If Kenya want to get anywhere in international cricket they need to be easily winning these games. It is not good enough for them to be in these kind of positions against sides like Canada. Either Canada are a very good side or Kenya are underperforming and i'd say that Kenya are underperforming.

Kenya made it in the end but nor before that terrible start. Thomas Odoyo stood tall and made a fine 111 not out to carry kenya home after they looked in all sorts of trouble at 4/31. They slipped even further to 5/49 before Alex Obanda and Odoyo started the renaissance mission.

Obando fell at 135 but Odoyo was well set by then as he and Jimmy Kamande formed a match-winning partnership and carried Kenya home with Odoyo scoring a century along the way.

Umar Bhatti bowled very well, picking up 3/19 off 10 overs and bowling an incredible five maidens in the process.

Kenya won by 4 wickets and lead the two game series 1-0.

The final game is on Saturday.
