Match State: Match start scheduled for 9.30am local time (6.30am GMT)
Good Morning from Nairobi for Match four of the PSO Tri-angular
series.
Today Australia take on Kenya.
Pakistan heads the table after three matches, followed by Australia
who have only played one.
Kenya have lost both their matches.
Conditions are much the same but they are using a new pitch today.
Some moisture in the pitch but has a good grass covering, cut low
but again should assist the bowlers.
Will be an uphill struggle for Kenya with the Australians always
playing the game as hard as possible
Aus have won the toss and will bowl
For Australia Lee comes in for Bichel who has a slight groin strain

Australia won by 8 wickets
Australia not stretched too much and win at a walk
Starting very strongly in this Tournament has confirmed their
status as no. 1 in the world
They will take a lot of confidence into this tournament final as
well as the Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka later this month
With the World Cup coming up next year opposition teams will be
watching the Australians very carefully to try and find any faults
in their play
They will have to look very carefully as there does not appear to
be any
