Weather: Humid
Pitch: Uneven
Kenya won the toss and put Pakistan in to bat in the first match of the tour.
The opening pair walked out to unpredictable bowling conditions and a difficult task at hand. At the 10 over mark, Pakistan's score stood at 36/2 and the decision to bowl first was validated. However, opener Islam Hamid had gotten a steady start and was still out there. His innings became key, driving the score forward even as other batsmen fell around him. In the 26th over, Pakistan lost their fourth wicket with the score at 83. The captain, Mohammad Yousuf, joined Islam Hamid with Pakistan in a precarious position. No stranger to late phase recoveries, he provided Hamid support in a crucial 116 run partnership off 123 deliveries, that also saw Hamid raise a very well crafted century. Yousuf was finally trapped in front in the 46th over. By now, Pakistan's score stood at 199/5. They finished at 222/7 in their 50 overs. Islam Hamid remained not out at 115 off 143 deliveries.
In response, Kenya also found run scoring difficult and began cautiously. At the 11 over mark, the score stood at 34/2. The Pakistani bowlers saw an opportunity and never toned down the pressure. 10 overs later, four more wickets had fallen with the score at 65/6 in 20 overs. Keeper Dalmar Kamabi and pacer Andrew wa Kamamia provided some respite, combining in a lower order partnership of 39 runs off 53 balls. It took Kenya's score to 120/7. However, Kamabi's run out in the 31st over officially sealed things. Pakistan wrapped things up soon after with Kenya finishing at 142 all out in 37.4 overs. The entire Pakistani bowling attack had chipped in with wickets in a clinical performance.
Pakistan won by 80 runs.
