Captain Steve Tikolo was the lone Kenyan batsman to offer any resistance. After struggling initially, he came on his own, smashing two sixes and one four in a Yuvraj over. Tikolo went on to make 56 while Collins Obuya chipped in with 29 as thei team recovered from 107/7 to a face-saving 179 all out. The 91-run win that India earned, though, was an emphatic enough result for their flag-waving supporters, who greeted their team's entry into the World Cup for the first time in 20 years with unalloyed joy in the stands at Durban. Their biggest cheer was reserved for Ganguly, who went on to end one of the most satisfying matches in his career, being crowned the Man of the Match.
