Pakistan have managed to get the Kenyans out for 179 in 42.3 overs
and will have a full quota for their chase to 180
A somewhat spotty performance by boths sides, first it was Shoaib
on song followed by a fine 59 by Otieno and he did not get much
support
He did get support from extras and Wasim again was the main
culprit, being wayward
The Pak fielding too allowed many extra runs but Afridi and Azhar
managed to slow down the scoring
Do join us in about 30 minutes for the pak chase to try and get to
180 on this high ground where we hear there is a breathing problem
for the visiting sides

takes a single to reach 50

38.4 Kamande to Younis Khan, FOUR, fullish and on the off, smashed
inside out and over the man at mid off, the ball races to the
fence and this game is over with that powerful blow
Younis Khan and Misbah ul Haq saw Pakistan home after some anxious
momnets when the Pak openers went quickly this afternoon as is
their wont
A fine partnership with sensible batting and less than normal risk
taking did the job for the hosts winning by 7 wickets
The Kenya attack did well initiall but then allowed the pak batters
to take singles and twos at will, possible sign of inexperience in
setting the field in the crunch overs
Earlier the key aspect was again the extras given away by Pakistan
but Shoaib Akhtar was their main weapon nicely back in form and
boled well to pick up 2 for 18
Pakistan will be having a rest now as Australia take on Kenya
tomorrow and at this time its pretty clear the final will be
between Australia and Pakistan
Kenya have impressed their comitted fielding has save at least 2-25
runs today
Man of the Match is Younis Khan for his fine knock of 87 off 91
balls
please join us tommorow at 6:30 GMT for next game, Kenya v
Australia
Thanks and good bye
