At mount maungauni, world cup qualifier in new zealand, Kenya tasted their second defeat after Namibia egde them out. Kenya won the toss and compiled 186 for 8 in 50 overs with pagal getting 32, steve 47, rakeb 44 and man of the match hiren viraya with patient 32. In reply Namibia had to fight and held their nerves till end with 7balls to spare. The key talking points in the dressing room is that the bowlers really rose to the occassion bowled tight under immense pressure not to concede more than 4 runs an over. The 3 spinners and lameck bowled with their hearts and souls only to be let down by 5th bowler. As for batters, they knew odoyo wasnt playing who normally comes near the end and gets the team into comfortable position. By this fact, the batters concerned should have occupied the crease for long period and increase the divideds of partnership but that was a major undoing. Over all its a good fight and close contest.
