New Zealand Vs Kenya Match Review

          This match was pretty much one sided. The match did not progress enough to mention anything of importance. The Kenyan captain decided to bat first after winning the toss. The initial 10 overs went normal till Bennett started to rip through Kenyan batting order. An interesting thing to mention here is that New Zealand pace bowlers kept pitching the ball to a fuller length, a strategy that might not work against good batting order. Another unusual strategy employed by New Zealand team was to use spinner in the first power play,  it will be interesting to see them employing same tactics against more experienced teams. Kenyan batsmen however seemed powerless and were bowled all out by a very small total, which New Zealand achieved without any difficulty. The result of the match was same as expected before the beginning of the match, however such low scoring match was a disappointment.
