Pakistan performed excellent in his first match against Kenya. Pakistan never lost the match. In batting first, Pakistan lost their openers quickly but after that Kamran Akmal, Younas Khan, Misbah ul Haq and Omar Akmal played exceptionally well and made fifties. Omar Akmal was not good at his start but after getting his form he made quick 71 runs. Pakistan posted 317 runs on the board.
This score was enough good for Kenya, they tried initial from bowling of Shoaib Akhtar and Abdul Razzaq. After that Shahid Afridi and Omar Gull took 7 wickets collectively. Shahid Afridi with 5 wickets in 8 overs with 16 runs was best bowler in the inning. Kenya was wrapped up in 112 runs in 33.1 overs.
Over all performance of the team was very satisfactory. Next match will be with Sri-Lanka which will be a very important match for both of teams. Sri-Lanka is in good form and Pakistan today showed their aggression too. Fans of cricket will definitely find a great match between these two side. Pakistan must keep nerves specially openers must perform well in that match along with bowling attack of Pakistan. Fielding standard must be high for the next matches.
