NAIROBI - Captain Babar Hayat scored a superb quick-fire half-century against Kenya to drag Hong Kong to a 39-run victory in their World Cricket League match in Nairobi on Sunday. Opener Christopher Carter hit 41 and Nizakat Khan scored an unbeaten 20 as Hong Kong closed at 148-4 in 25.1 overs. Nadeem Ahmed, Ehsan Khan and Tanveer Khan each took three wickets to snuff out the Kenyan response and the home side were skittled all out for 133 in 23 overs, giving Hong Kong victory on the Duckworth-Lewis method. Hong Kong's victory will however not alter the table standings as the two teams remain fourth and fifth in the eight-team championships. The top two will qualify to the final round of qualifiers for the 2019 World cup in England.
