UAE beat Kenya in Intercontinental Cup

UAE bowled out Kenya for 167 in their second innings to complete a remarkable 266-run victory at Gymkhana Club Ground in Nairobi after conceding a first-innings lead in their Intercontinental Cup match.
 
Kenya began the day on 76 for 4 chasing 433 but victory for the hosts was never on, lasted just 36.1 overs on the final day.

New captain Collins Obuya made a determined 63 but he received little support, with only Ramesh Mepani, who managed 37 before being run out, going past 20.
 
UAE struck in the second over of the day to remove Mansukh Jasani for a duck before Obuya and Mepani eked out a 37-run stand that was the second highest of the innings/

Obuya's fall with the score on 125 effectively ended Kenya's chances of saving the game, and the last four wickets fell for 42 runs.
 
The wickets were shared between five bowlers, with Mohammad Tauqir, Amjad Javed and Shoaib Sarwar picking up two each.
