Bowlers take Kenya to top of WCL table

But Odhiambo's persistence and Lucas Olioch's late cameo (33 off 32 balls) ensured Kenya set Stephan Bard's men a target of 216 for victory.

Namibia had a cautious start to its chase, knocking the first six overs around for just 22 runs.

But Uloch, the left-arm pacer, broke the partnership by removing Baard, and initiated the Namibian downfall. Six more wickets tumbled in the next 13.4 overs to put a break on the chase, and Namibia found itself tottering at 57 for 7 in the 20th over.

Smit, who remained unbeaten till the end, scored a valiant 51-ball 31, with only support from Christopher Coombe, the No. 11 batsman, who scored 28 off 45 balls before being trapped in front by Hiren Varaiya in the 39th over, thus ending the Namibian innings on 123.

Otieno, Oluoch, and Varaiya picked up one wicket each while Odhiambo, Ngoche and Rakep Patel all had two wickets against their name.

While Kenya picked up two crucial points from the match, Namibia lost out on registering what could have been their second win of the tournament.
