India ‘A’ thrashes Kenya

Nairobi: A brilliant bowling performance and some aggressive batting from the openers took India ‘A’ to an easy win in its first one-dayer against Kenya at the Gymkhana Ground in Nairobi. Praveen Kumar backed up Pankaj Singh’s four for 29 with three wickets before smashing an unbeaten 57 from 27 deliveries to take India to its target of 99 in just 7.4 overs.

Put in to bat on a seamer-friendly wicket, the Kenyan batsmen did not have an answer to the visitor’s bowling as the pacemen skittled them out for a paltry 98 in 26.2 overs under an overcast Nairobi sky.

Thomas Odoyo, who acted as stand-in captain in place of the injured Steve Tikolo, was the only Kenyan batsman to offer resistance making 43.

The scores: Kenya 98 all out in 26.4 overs (Thomas Odoyo 43, P. Singh 4-29, P. Kumar 3-28) lost to India A 99 for no loss in 7.4 overs (Praveen Kumar 57 n.o.).
