Group 'A' Team Positions After Australia Beat Zimbabwe by 60 Runs (Match Summary)

BANGALORE – Zimbabwe put up a decent fight before going down by 60 runs here at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru against defending champion Australia.

Kenyans first time in the tournament made their opponents fight hard for the win and that were none other than Australians.

Chasing a big total of 325 they showed a real fight against one of the top bowling attack in the world. They had not a very good start but the fourth wicket partnership of 116 runs between Collins Obuya (98*) and Tanmay Mishra (72) helped them to set a good decent fight against Aussies. In the last moment Thomas Odoyo’s quick fired 35 runs made the world champions nervous to some extent. But Kenya just managed to get to 264 ran short of 61 from their target. Hats off to Kenya.

Earlier, Australia piled up a hug total of 324 with the help of multiple good performance by Michael Clarke (93), Brad Haddin (65) and Michael Hussey (54).

Collins Obuya was named man of the match for the hard-fought unbeaten 98. Australia climbs up a step on the points table with 7 points after 4 matches.

ICC World Cup (March 1) - - Group A: Today's Match Summary and Points Table With Respective Team Position

COLOMBO – Sri Lanka thrashed Kenya by 9 wickets. Openers, Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan, started the 143-run chase in a brutal way smashing Kenyan bowlers all over the park. They just lost Dilshan after scoring 44 runs off just 30 balls before reaching trivial target. Kumar Sangakkara (27 runs off 24 balls) joined Tharanga (67 runs off 59 balls) in the same fashion and finished the game in just 18.4 overs.  

Earlier, Kenya won the toss and elected to bat first. Kenyan innings wrapped up for paltry 142 courtesy to half centuries by Obuya brothers. Collins Obuya scored 52 off 100 balls; while David Obuya made 51 runs off 106 balls. No other batsman succeeded to enter into double figure score.    

Lasith Malinga picked up six wickets including a hat-trick; which is his second hat-trick of the career and world cups as well. He has done the same with South African team; where he picked up 4 wickets in 4 balls. Malinga picked up three out of total six wickets in his 8^th over.

This is the second hat-trick of ICC Cricket World Cup 2011; as Kemar Roach has done the same the other night against Netherlands picking up last three wickets on three successive deliveries.
