A brilliant performance by Kenya especially spinner Karim who has ended with 3 wicket in 8.2 overs and gave away 7 runs.

The victory was certain but they did suffer some tension after the scintillating start given by Gilchrist Kenya should be well staisfied with this bowling performance defending such a low total.

The match was not as one sided as one may think, but Australia kept their cool and played carefully to get home easily, more runs for Kenya would have been even more interesting. We hope you enjoyed this game and we would like to wish all the teams in the semi-finals the best of luck, good night all
