After choosing to field first, Namibia got hammered for 73 runs by Kenyan openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/T-Mishra-c2629. The two batsmen went ballistic right from the get go as they smacked the bowlers all around the park without a hint of remorse. The batting duo was ruthless as it put the bowlers on the back foot.
This partnership was broken by Verwey, who dismissed Obanda after the batsman had hammered a knock of 30 runs.
The second-wicket partnership between T Mishra and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MA-Ouma-c1869 was equally important as the two batsmen led their side towards a massive score of 130 runs. This was a belligerent batting display by the Kenyans, who seemed all set to take the game away from the hosts.
This partnership played its last on the wicket of Mishra, who was dismissed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Williams-c98034, after he had belted a massive knock of 68 runs off 53 deliveries.

Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CO-Obuya-c1276’s 28-run knock was good enough to help his side post a daunting score of 187 on the board for the loss of five wickets.
Namibia had a fabulous start to their run chase with openers HN Ya http://www.senore.com/Cricket/France-c2899 and R van Schoor clobbering a stand of 68 runs, before the demise of the latter, who found his way off the field after having bolstered 38 runs.
