Kenya (203 for three) beat Canada (199 all out) by seven wickets with 6.4 overs remaining
An outstanding unbeaten stand between Steve Tikolo and Tanmay Mishra sees Kenya to a clinical victory over the rather hopelessly hopeful Canadians. It's back to the drawing board for John Davison and company while Tikolo and troops must be well pleased and ready to take on the bigger nations - perhaps causing an upset somewhere down the line.

Over 5: Trouble for Canada as Ouma opens up, firstly lashing one to cow-corner for four and then following that up with a mis-timed pulled over mid-wicket for a sweet sixer! Bhatti really ain't bowling well and perhaps skipper John Davison has to bring on somebody else.

A Samad c Tikolo b Odoyo 15 (29)
Odoyo delivers two solid dot balls after which Samad tries to break lose but cuts hard straight into skipper Steve Tikolo's big hands. That's the end of a somewhat average knock. That's an early-ish breakthrough for the Kenyans. Hooray!

Tikolo has opted for the second powerplay.

Over 10: Barnett hammers a four through mid-wicket and then gets a boundary to the third-man rope. A rather sad over for Ongondo comes to an end with a length delivery fended off to the covers. And so sees the end of powerplay one.
Canada 40/0 (RR: 4.00): Barnett 18* (38), Samad 15* (26)

Over 9: Odoyo completes an indifferent over dotted with no-balls, one of which was lashed through the covers by Samad. Perhaps a change of bowling is in order.
