Kenya picks positives as Nepal wins T20 Cricket Series title in Nairobi

NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 30 – After a 2-3 defeat in the five-match T20 International series to visiting Nepal, Kenya skipper Shem Ngoche noted the team has picked positives, vowing to bounce back in the next outing.

Kenya, playing in the presence of her fans as international cricket returned to the country for the first time in a decade, lost by 31 runs.

“We gave them 20 extra runs, if we had restricted to 150/160 it would have been a close game. The pitch is the best in the square and I think as a batsman you can get a lot of runs,” Ngoche said after the match.

“It’s always disappointing to be on the losing end, but I think there has been a lot of positivity from our team since we were taking game by game, we have been improving and that is the most important thing,” Ngoche added.

He noted that the rotation of the squad was necessary so as to find the strength of each player.

“As a team we decided to give each player a chance for us to find the combination we are looking for so that we can get it right in future games at least now we know who can bat where who can bowl where,” he added.

“Cricket returning to Kenya means a lot and the fans turning up to give us the moral support, I really thank them on behalf of Cricket Kenya and the boys, we still have three more games to come and we need their support.”
