Australia have lost just a single wicket that of Adam Gilchrist who was out leg before to Martin Suji for 22 off 18 balls including five 4s in the ninth over.

At lunch Matthew Hayden who scored 146 on Friday against Pakistan was not out on 15 and Jimmy Maher was batting on five. Australia need 41 more runs in 41 overs for an easy victory.

McGrath and Gillespie a duo with a nice blend of seam and swing shared the bowling honours.

Australian captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and put Kenya in under overcast skies. Both teams made one change each to their team, Australians brought in pacer Brett Lee to replace Andy Bichel who had to sit out due to a groin strain and the Kenyans brought in left arm spinner Brijal Patel to replace opener Ravindu Shah who had injured his toe in practice.

Kenyans lost an early wicket in shape of makeshift opener David Obuya who was bowled by Glenn McGrath for nought and in the third over of the day when the score was just one. Jimmy Kamande was promoted up the order to number three.

Opener Kennedy Otieno who had made a defiant 59 against Pakistan yesterday scored the first four of Kenyan innings in the sixth over off Jason Gillespie but the very next ball Otieno was forced to play on a ball moving away but Matthew Hayden spilled a difficult chance. But made amends the very next ball as the tall Queenslander took a breathtaking catch to give Gillespie his first wicket and Kenya were 12-2.

Both bowlers maintained a tight line and pitched the ball in the right place. McGrath struck for the second time in his fifth over as he forced Jimmy Kamande to fish at a ball, which left him after pitching and wicket keeper Adam Gilchrist did the rest. Kamande just made one and Kenya were 13-3 in the ninth over. Wickets kept on tumbling as the Aussies exerted pressure from both ends. Skipper Steve Tikolo was the fourth wicket to fall for the Kenyans as Shane Warne caught him in the slips off the bowling of Gillespie for four when the score was 17 in the 12th over. In the very next over Glenn McGrath snapped up his third wicket when Thomas Odoyo holed out to Michael Bevan at mid off for a duck as Kenya plunged into further depression at 17-5.

Gillespie trapped Maurice Odumbe leg before wicket for a duck at the start of the 14th over as Kenyans were chopped down to 17-6 losing three wickets for no runs.

At this point the Kenyans faced a grave situation of being bundled out for the lowest ever score in ODI cricket of 38 set by the Zimbabweans but they managed to avoid the dubious honour. Tony Suji was forced to retire hurt for four when a Glenn McGrath bouncer hit him on the helmet.

McGrath had a wonderful first spell as his figures read 8-5-8-3. Brett Lee replaced him in the 17th over. The Kenyans reached their 50 in the 20th over for the loss of six wickets. Jason Gillespie bowled out his full quota of 10 overs at a stretch and had figures of 3-40. Collins Obuya was the seventh wicket to fall as he edged one to Gilchrist off Shane Watson for 13 when the score was 53. the entire team was all out for 84 in the 34th over. Patel batted valiantly and looks a good prospect for Kenya getting the highests score of 28 before being stumped failing to drag his toe back.

This is the second time ever these two teams have faced each other in a one day internationals. Their only previous meeting was in Vishakapatnam, India during the 1996 World Cup. Australia won that match by a comfortable margin of 97 runs.

Today, the Kenyans will be playing for pride, having nothing to lose they will be trying their utmost to challenge Australia. In yesterday’s match the Kenyans were spirited in their effort but the Pakistanis proved too strong for them in the end.

Although their chance of winning against the World Champions are slim but they would like to gain from this experience. They will need to add more discipline to their batting as it was poor shot selection yesterday that stopped them from posting a decent score after a good partnership between Kennedy Obuya and Thomas Odoyo.

For the Aussies, the match will provide them good practice before their next game against Pakistan and eventually, the final, where the meeting between Pakistan and Australia is almost certain barring any serious upset made by the Kenyans.

This morning its heavily overcast and the pitch is new too with some moisture so there should be some movement again.

Ricky Ponting won the toss and has put the Kenyans in. Brett Lee has been asked to play today as Bichel has a side strain.
