Chanderpaul sees West Indies home
Wisden CricInfo staff - August 18, 2001

NAIROBI (Reuters)
West Indies (193-4) beat Kenya (192) by six wickets
Shivnarine Chanderpaul stroked an unbeaten 87 off 96 balls to spur West Indies to a six-wicket victory over Kenya in their second one-day international on Saturday. Fast bowlers Reon King and Colin Stuart set up the win by capturing 4 for 32 and 2 for 37 respectively as Kenya were dismissed for 194 in 49.1 of their 50 overs.

The Kenyans struck back through a triple strike by paceman Martin Suji which reduced the West Indians to 23 for 3 but Chanderpaul ensured that his side ultimately won comfortably with four overs to spare. Suji sent back Chris Gayle (10) with the fourth ball of the seventh over and his last delivery of the same over trapped Wavell Hinds leg before for a duck. Suji completed his spell of 8-1-23-3 with the wicket of opener Daren Ganga (4), and then limped off with a pulled muscle.

Chanderpaul, who hit 10 fours and one six, repaired the early damage in a fourth wicket stand of 91 with Marlon Samuels, who made 46 before being bowled by Collins Omondi in the 27th over. Captain Carl Hooper joined Chanderpaul to complete his side's success with an unbeaten 33 in an unbroken fifth wicket stand of 85.

Earlier, King and Stuart caused a Kenyan collapse after fellow paceman Corey Collymore began their problems by bowling opener Ravindu Shah for 5. King removed three of the top five batsmen while Stuart's two wickets included the experienced Steve Tikolo, who was caught behind for 14.

Kenya slumped to 84 for 7 at one stage, but their total was given a measure of respectability by a last wicket stand of 66 between Jimmy Kamande, with 32 not out, and Peter Ochieng, who hit 36. Kamande scored three fours and Ochieng reaching the boundary twice and also hit a six.

Hooper praised Kenya's attack, saying: "With many such matches, they will certainly improve. I am glad that I stayed on enough to pull our side through."

West Indies won the first one-day international by 106 runs last Wednesday.
