Kenya v Nepal T20 series
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2022 2:38 pm
Thought I’d put this here as I have been following this t20 series.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how good Kenya have been. Their batting has been a little flat but bowling has been great the last couple of days.
They should have won yesterday but let it slip with a couple of fielding mistakes at the end. Today they have won with a clinical bowling performance.
Facilities are great and the television streams have been good. Even decent commentators for the series.
Kenya seems to be reviving over the last few months, they battered the 3rd round of the challenge cup beating Jersey and Uganda along the way, it’s a shame they had a poor start to the competition and missed out in qualifying.
Key players for Kenya at the moment:
Batting:
Irfan Karim - they rely heavily on him for runs
Nelson Odhiambo - can hit the ball far but not a great temperament
Collins Obuya - I’m sure everyone remembers this name, great player in his prime, can still hold the bat
Bowling:
Lucas Oluche - he is seriously good, quick bowler who moves it around and he is handy with the bat as well, knocked it round the park for a 30 odd in game 1
Emmanuel Bundi - missed the first game with a niggle, handy fast bowler
Shem Ngoche - this guy doesn’t seem to age, still going strong and putting it in the right areas, doesn’t turn it much though
Key player:
Vraj Patel - This guy is seriously good and deserves to be mentioned on his own. He is only 20 I think, he turns the ball round corners, Nepal haven’t had a clue against him and they are used to Sandeep Lamichane!
Loving the series, good to see cricket in Kenya again, hope they can turn their fortunes around. I think they have been unlucky recently with the Rise of Uganda.
I can see why there is 2 spaces now for these sides in the world t20 qualifiers, Naimibia, Kenya and Uganda are all very competitive at the minute.
