NAIROBI, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's cricket team beat Bermuda by eight wickets in their final match of the Intercontinental Cup match played in Nairobi on Sunday. The East Africans knocked off the final 79 runs to beat, easing to an eight-wicket win. Kenya's Maurice Ouma brought up a slick fifty from 49 balls, but he couldn't replicate the blistering stroke play of Saturday, scooping Malachi Jones straight to mid-off for 63. But another Kenyan - David Obuya - the slower of the two on Saturday opened his shoulders - clubbing Jones over long-on before dispatching Rodney Trott over the same boundary for six. Trott got his man, however, when Obuya stepped to the leg-side and was beaten by a quicker delivery. Obuya's namesake, Collins, together with Tony Suji knocked off the required runs with the minimum of fuss to inflict yet another defeat on Bermuda. Kenya now top the Intercontinental Cup table with 40 points, six ahead of Netherlands. Bermuda, though, have won just a single game on their forgettable tour of Kenya, beating neighboring Uganda in their opening match. Bermuda now travels to Sharjah to face UAE on Nov. 8.
