Pakistan and West Indies easy victories
Bangladesh failed to put any pressure on the West Indies opening batsmen, letting them set a score of 169, that Bangladesh was never going to match. Gayle fell just one run short of his century, with Hinds not far behind with 82.Wickets fell regularly throughout the Bangladesh innings with Dillon taking a bag of 5. Although the tail wagged a bit, the loss of the first five wickets for just 26 runs left Bangladesh with no chance to match the West Indies score.
Kenya could not hold their form and wilting under the onslaught of the much better Pakistan team. After an early wicket, Kenya put on a 65 run stand. Once that stand was broken, the Kenyans collapsed to be all out for a paltry 94. Afridi knocked over 5 wickets for just 11 runs. Pakistan quickly matched the Kenyan score in just 18.4 overs.
Again we had two matches that did nothing to promote interesting and competative games of cricket.
The real cricket starts tonight as New Zeand and Australia face off.
