Shahid Afridi Fold Kenya & won by 205 runs

Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi is on a song here. Her has already scalped five wickets against Kenya and has helped restrict the African team at 112 runs giving a great win to his team.

I am sure judges will have a tough time in selecting the man of the match today. Four fifties with Umar Akmal top scoring with 71 runs off a mere 52 balls. Misbah scoring 65 runs, and now Shahid Afridi scalping five wickets.

So the two persons one of whom would be man of the match is Shahid Afridi, the talented Pakistani captain. Despite the fact that the win came against minnows, nevertheless the huge margin of victory 205 runs is going to give  a big boost to Pakistani assertions that it is also in contention for the coveted world cup trophy.

After Pakistan’s win Umar Gul who scalped two wickets said, “Early on we lost couple of quick wickets but later the batsmen had good partnerships. We were confident. The score was too much for the Kenyans. We have been enjoying Sri Lanka so far. I would like to thank the crowd for supporting us. There are lot of Pakistani fans and we hope that they will continue to support us”.

So Kenya have failed to prove themselves that they were rightly selected for the world cup.
