Obuya brothers give Kenya big victory
MOMBASA (Kenya), Jan 17: Kenya began their ICC tri-series against Scotland with a huge 190-run win as the hosts recorded their second-highest one-day total of 328-5 here on Wednesday.
Scotland were soon struggling on a slow, low pitch at 39-4. And when Neil McCallum fell for just 10, the end was in sight.
Ravindu Shah and David Obuya put on 84 for the second wicket. Shah crashed 10 fours in his 53-ball 54. Tanmay Mishra cracked five fours in 66 while David’s brother, Collins, struck 68 from 63 balls. But it was Thomas Odoyo who propelled the innings with a 26-ball 45 taking them past their previous second-highest score of 305-8 against Bermuda last November.
