| Sunday, 1 September, 2002, 13:34 GMT 14:34 UK Pakistan cruise to victory ![]() Kennedy Otieno sweeps square for runs Kenya Tri-series, 3rd ODI: Pakistan 181-3 (38.4 ovs) beat Kenya 179 all out (42.3 ovs) Pakistan cruised to their second win over Kenya in this warm-up tournament before the ICC Champions Trophy. But they had to weather a poor start to their run chase after their African hosts had reduced them to 13 for two and 54 for three. It was the class of Younis Khan which finally told, as he hit 87 not out in an unbroken stand of 127 with newcomer Misbah-ul-Haq (50 not out). Openers Saeed Anwar and Shoaib Malik had fallen early on. Anwar was caught by wicketkeeper David Obuya off Martin Suji for two, and Malik was trapped lbw by Kenya pace bowler Thomas Odoyo for three. Partnership Younis Khan and Shahid Afridi then shared a third-wicket partnership of 41 before the latter was caught at third man by Tony Suji off Joseph Angara for 31. Afridi narrowly avoided being run out before venting his frustration by taking 20 runs off Odoyo's next over in which he smashed two sixes and two fours. For Kenya, Kennedy Otieno hit 59 but his team-mates generally suffered against Pakistan's five-seamer attack. Otieno was one of two Shoaib Akhtar victims, and the world's fastest bowler conceded just 17 runs from his eight overs. There were two wickets apiece for three other seamers, while Afridi's unusual medium-paced leg-spin accounted for two further victims. Odoyo (28) put on 61 with Otieno for Kenya's third wicket but there were no other stands of note. Kenya: Steve Tikolo, Thomas Odoyo, David Obuya, Ravindu Shah, Joseph Angara, Maurice Odumbe, Martin Suji, James Kamande, Kennedy Otieno Obuya, Collins Obuya, Tony Suji. Pakistan: Saeed Anwar, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Younis Khan, Misbah ul-Haq, Azhar Mahmood, Abdur Razzaq, Rashid Latif, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar |
