Kenya edged past Canada to win by four wickets with nine balls to spare, despite a late wobble as the Canadians exerted pressure, took vital wickets and so nearly pulled off another upset at this World Cup. In the end, it was the Kenyans who relied on their greater experience at this level and greater depth of batting to take the points. Canada took much credit.

Ian Billcliff was the mainstay during Canada’s innings with 71 as they were bowled out for 197 in 49 overs, and Thomas Odoyo was the pick of the Kenyan attack with four wickets.
