India have completed a win here that takes them that much closer to

the semi-final spot they so covet. While it looked a comfortable win in the end there were several times when India were in deep trouble.

Kenya batted very sensibly earlier on, scoring 225 from 50 overs

thanks to a big score from Thomas Odoyo at the top of the order

When India came out to bat Sehwag, Tendulkar and Kaif were

dismissed very cheaply.

After India were reduced to 24/3 thanks to some energetic Kenyan

cricket Sourv Ganguly played a captain's knock, remaining unbeaten

for 107

Ganguly's 21st ODI ton came when India needed it most and Ganguly

was a visibly relieved man when he reached the landmark, punching

his fifts in the air

While Dravid played sensibly if slowly for 32 before being out to

Collins Obuya, Yuvraj Singh (58 not out) was brilliant for his

Part

Keeping the strike rotating with ones and twos, Yuvraj also managed

to lift the pressure by strikign some clean boundaries

At the end of the day, the 118-run partnership for the 5th wicket

took India safely home with two overs to spare and six wickets in

hand

The Indian team will also be happy that they got some valuable

experience batting under lights in South Africa

Collins Obuya was a revelation with the ball

The Indians are among the best players of spin in the world and yet

the leggie troubled them. Good spin and bounce ensured that

batsmen were in trouble at all times

After a good spell for the first five overs tied the batsmen down

In the end though the Indian's proved to be too good for the

Kenyans

With this win, the Indians move to second place in the points table

in the super six. Australia are ahead, India are 2nd with 12

points (8 points carried forward plus 4 for today's win)

All that's left is the announcement of the Man of the Match award

It will probably be Sourav Ganguly for his century

The excitement seems to be getting to us all!

As expected Ganguly has been named the Man of the Match and

receives his gold watch

That brings us to the end of the coverage of this game
