It was a dismal start for Kenya losing five wickets inside the first 16 overs as New Zealand wasted little time in rattling off the required runs.
However, the East African giants made an impressive comeback in their second match against Can- ada but still faced another setback, losing by five wickets to hand Canada their first World Cup win.
The Canadians reached their 199-run target with relative ease after an outstanding bowling. Kenya’s approach in the early session of the game was outstanding, forcing the Canadians to lose early wickets during the run-chase but the East Africans couldn’t match on.
Kenya’s poor start in the tournament continue with another sad day against Pakistan after Shahid Afridi claimed 5 for 16 as the Pakistanis secured an overwhelming 205 runs over Kenya.
The East Africans disastrous showdown of the day continued, allowing Kamran Akmal, Younus Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq and Umar Akmal all grabbing half-centuries to give them a total of 317-7 with a world-record of 37 wides among 46 extras.
Kenya's batsmen, who were bowled out for 69 in a 10-wicket defeat to New Zealand on again failed to cover themselves in glory with Collins Obuya hit three sixes in his 47 but, from the relative heights of 73-2, the Africans collapsed to 112 all out in 33.1 overs.
Zimbabwe celebrate one of their victory
