SRI LANKANS BEAT KENYA

WORLD Cup holders Sri Lanka managed to beat cricket minnows Kenya in both sides’ final qualifying match in Group A of the World Cup in England on Sunday. The match had little significance, as both teams have already been eliminated from the Super Six second round. At 275/8 in their opening innings, Sri Lanka had an easy time bowling Kenya out at 230/6 after 40 overs. Sri Lanka ended second from last in their group.
