What a disastrous start for the nation that were once considered as a serious opponent by the top teams? Everyone has expected little bit better challenge from this African side, that had beaten big teams in the past. The score of 69 tells the story of their downfall in the international cricket, and also justifies, in some way, the decision of the ICC to organize 10 teams world cup for 2015.
9 wickets fell down for 29 runs. Bennett was the pick of the bowlers for the New Zealand, grabbing 4 of the Kenyan wickets. He broke the top order that included Steve Tikolo, once considered the Tendulkar of Associate cricket. Southee and Oram joined the carnival and took 3 wickets each. All together, it was an easy match for New Zealand and the difficult one for Kenya. Canada lost their match as well, and I will catch that story in another post.
