Obanda, Obuya, Gondaria and Rakep touched half a century in the high-rating tie

Kenya has extended its good streak with the win against Rwanda, host of the World Cup qualifiers of the 2020 World Cup of the ICC (International Cricket Council) at the Gahanga cricket stadium in Kigali.

Kenyan boys, who had battled in previous assignments, appeared to have discovered the working formula since they set an unreachable target of 271 for Rwanda in their innings.

The Kenyan quartet of Alex Obanda, Collins Obuya, Dhiren Gondaria and Rakep Patel was on fire while they sprayed half a ton each while Kenya was giving up to an emphatic 123-point victory over Rwanda.

The opening duo of Obanda and Gondaria decided to win a second win with a partnership of 84. After many unsuccessful attempts to send him to the pavilion, Clinton Rububagumya finally managed to overthrow Obanda, who had cracked six limits and six sixes for an impressive 63 off 22 balls in the seventh plus.

Gondaria then partnered with Rakep for the second wicket which punctuated in 61 races but Rububagumya caught Gondaria with his score at 56 in the 10.5 overs.

Patel passed half a century with a race, but Orchide Tuyisenge took it to the 14th to break his partnership with Obuya.

Veteran Obuya then pushed Kenya's score with his 63 of 25, but Zappy Bimenyimana made him get by Subhasis Samal in the 19th with Kenya at 256 for the loss of five wickets.

In the Rwanda heats, Captain Shem Ngoche was superb, taking four wickets while he was playing economically for 23 runs. Elijah Otieno 2/14 and Obuya 2/16 were also impressive with the ball for Kenya.

In another match, Uganda rebounded from its disappointing loss to Kenya to beat Tanzania by 64 points.

Ronak Patel starred against Uganda in hitting an undefeated half-century to place Cricket Cranes on the road to victory.

Struck first, Hamu Kayondo 42 out of 19 balls and captain Roger Mukasa 42 out of 33, allowed Uganda to continue its run before Khalil Rehmtullah took over from Kayondo in fifth with 58 points.

Ronak formed a second wicket with Mukasa to push their score beyond the mark of the century, but their partnership was broken when Harsh Ramaiya released Mukasa in the 12th for a score of 104 with a loss of two wickets.

Ronak remained solid on the fold breaking seven borders and three six while Uganda settled for 184 for the loss of four wickets at the end of their innings.

Ramaiya was impressive with the ball for Tanzania taking two wickets for 22 runs in four overs. Rehmtullah and Kassim Mussa each took a wicket.

In their quest to chase away 184 of Uganda, Tanzanian drummers struggled to outmaneuver Irfan Afridi, who was in top form by destroying their best order, while he dismissed Abhik Patwa and Zamoyo Jaboneke on a duck and Rehmtullah 8 (12).

His bowling prowess wins three times for nine points, earning him a man of the match.

Dinesh Nakrani took two wickets for 24 while Henry Ssenyondo took one.
