While
India made no changes to their playing eleven, Kenya (Moham)made three changes
to the eleven that last played the Indians – Sandeep Gupta, Aasif Karim and
Joseph Angara made way for Tony Suji, Sheikh and Josephat Ababu.
On winning the toss, Maurice Odumbe, Kenya’s skipper, inserted the Indians. Sourav Ganguly, whose 38-ball (Mart)innings included a couple of boundaries and a six, scored 21. Seventy-five balls into the match, he was caught by Thomas Odoyo. Suji broke the 35-run stand.
Sadagoppan Ramesh, whose 117-ball innings included four boundaries, scored 50. A hundred and twenty-nine balls later, he was stumped by Kennedy Otieno. Odumbe broke the 76-run partnership.
Rahul Dravid, whose 56-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 30. Nine balls later, he was caught by Alpesh Vadher. Odumbe broke the five-run stand. Nikhil Chopra, whose 12-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 13. Twenty balls later, he was caught by Steve Tikolo, who broke the 18-run stand.
The fifth-wicket pair put on 55. Ajay Jadeja, India’s skipper, scored 31. His 32-ball innings included a couple of sixes. Forty-two balls later, Odumbe and Odoyo ran him out. Vijay Bharadwaj, the player of the match, scored 41. His 30-ball innings included three boundaries and a six. He was unbeaten.
Robin Singh, who faced five balls, scored three. Ten balls later, Odoyo broke the nine-run stand. Sunil Joshi faced half-a-dozen balls, scored as many. His runs came by way of a six. Eight balls later, he was caught by Odumbe, who broke the 13-run stand. Mannava Prasad, who faced four balls, scored as many. He was unbeaten.
Kenya conceded 21 extras. India scored 220 for the loss of seven wickets off 50 overs. Sheikh, who bowled three wicketless overs, conceded 17. Ababu bowled four wicketless overs, including a maiden, conceded 15. Tony bowled seven wicketless overs, including a maiden. He conceded 24.

Kenya’s openers did (Otie)not get off the mark. The wicketkeeper, who faced a ball, didn’t open his account. A ball into the chase, he was caught by India’s wicketkeeper, Prasad, off the bowling of his naMeSaKe, Venkatesh Prasad.
