Canada have chased down the mediocre target of 199 runs set by Kenya with five wickets and 27 balls to spare in a Group A fixture of the ICC World Cup 2011 at Feroz Shah Kotla, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
This match will probably not have any significance on the next round of the mega event but it was an important fixture for both the minnows as they wanted to prove a point. 
The Canadians were in a spot of bother at one stage with three of their wickets down for just 48 runs on the board and it looked a like a repeat of their awful batting performance against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
However, Jimmy Hansra and captain Ashish Bagai took control of the situation and made sure that they take their team to a position of safety. Both of them looked in complete control throughout their partnership which turned out to be a match winning one.
Both Hansra and Bagai batted sensibly and did not take any undue risk, which was the reason why Canada achieved their target in the 46th over of the innings.
Hansra remained the top scorer with 70 runs which came off 99 balls including 7 fours and a couple of towering sixes. Bagai on the other hand remained unbeaten on 64 off 97 balls with the help of seven boundaries. Both scored 132 runs for the fourth wicket.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Elijah-Otieno-c55866 and James Ngoche also claimed a wicket each.
Canadian fast bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Henry-Osinde-c62693 was named as the Player of the Match for his superb spell of fast bowling as he broke the back of the Kenyan batting with four crucial wickets.
This is an extremely disappointing result for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kenya-c752 as they have more experience at the international level as compared to Canada.
