Cricket World Cup dreams in front of teams as Challenge League cycle begins
Four kilometres up the road in the Kenyan capital, Kuwait chased down 309 in a rollercoaster day at the Gymkhana Ground.
Mohammad Aslam’s side had Denmark cornered at 38/4 and 104/7, only for Saif Ahmed 140 (109) and the Danish tail to counter, putting up 308 in spite of Yasin Patel’s 5/48 from 10 overs with his left-arm orthodox.
Oliver Hald (48 off 35 balls) and Jonas Henriksen (39* from 64) played significant roles with Saif, and the trio were also the Danes’ best with the ball, claiming eight wickets between them.
The efforts of the three were not enough, however, with Usman Patel’s 120 (97) setting up a successful Kuwaiti chase.
Shiraz Khan (19* from 14) and Sayed Monib (21* from 14) finished the job, completing the chase with four balls to spare.
