MAR AKMAL HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN-OF-THE-MATCH. Ramiz Raja conducts an interview for him specially in Urdu. About his innings, he said that he was happy to have performed well today. About the hot weather, he said that he is used to it. Asked whether he would take this momentum into the next game, he replied that he would love to.
Winning captain Afridi said that it's a good start and they should be more positive with the batting. It was a slow track but they were positive. He said, you should take chances on such pitches or the bowlers keep bowling on the same areas. The next game is very important for them and they will come more harder. When Ramiz Raja asked him about his bowling performance, he said "I am a bowler first then a batsman".
Losing captain Kamande said that they gave a lot of extras and a lot of runs here and there which shouldn't have been given. They have not been performing at all. Their bowling was not up to the standards. They are playing Pakistan after 8 or 9 years so it was very difficult. 70 percent of their bowlers bowled well but extras are the areas of concern for them.
Pakistan have bowled out Kenya for 112 in 33.1 overs. Skipper Afridi led from the front taking 5/16 in his 8 overs. Obuya was the only batsman for Kenya who stood tall and scored a well made 47. The rest of the batting order failed again like it did with New Zealand. Pakistan would be happy with their overall performance and also with the net run rate they have of 4.10. Kenya are in a lot of danger with their two losses in a row. They would have to play very well in their next match against Sri Lanka and win it if they are to stay in the hunt.
OUT! Bowled! Gul gets the final wicket. On off, Ngoche leaves it alone and the ball hits the stumps. He is bowled and Kenya are all out!
