Lasith Malinga and Upul Tharanga Led Sri Lanka to a Huge Victory by 9 Wickets

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.
