This can be termed as a warm up match for Pakistan cricket team who has been through a lot of drama recently. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first, they had a typical Pakistani start as wickets start to fall at the very beginning of their innings. The openers seemed to play very carefully but there is no fun in being cautious and defensive if you cannot save your wicket. The middle order however performed pretty well and there were number of partnerships to stabilize Pakistani innings followed by a lot of fire power in the end. Over the time we have witnessed when Pakistan team is going well its a treat to watch their last 10 overs. It is worth mentioning here that in the 5 overs of batting power play Pakistan cricket team scored 70 runs. Kenyan team however was average in the field and pathetic in bowling dicipline. The bowling performance of Kenyans was not worthy of an international team. They gave over 40 valuable runs in wide balls which in itself is a world record.
Pakistani bowlers especially spinners performed very well and they bowled Kenya out at 112 runs. No one from Kenyan side except Obyua was able to stand his ground for long, wickets kept on falling with Pakistani captain leading the bowling attack with 5 wickets and match was an easy win for Pakistan crickert team.
