Bhudia braces for must win double in Kigali

Kenya are yet to play a complete match, three days into the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup sub Regional Africa A Qualifier in Kigali, Rwanda. Both their opening matches against St. Helena and Malawi were abandoned without a result as the rain kept pounding down at Gahanga Stadium in the afternoon, the venue for both matches.

With five matches to go and only two points collected so far, Kenya will be summoning the rain gods ahead of their double assignment on day four of the tournament where they come up against Mali in the morning at the IPRC oval and hosts, Rwanda in the afternoon at Gahanga stadium. 

In spite of the slippery start, skipper Sachin Bhudia is soldering on with his team as they hope for fair weather. "We're looking to play two important games tomorrow as long as it doesn't rain in the afternoon. Pointwise, we need to win both and jump ahead as we look to top the table. Unfortunately, we can't control nature but we had some good runs on the board from the last two games and we're still confident about the upcoming games." Stated Bhudia.

Kenya are third on the log with the two points behind table toppers, Rwanda, who have bagged maximum points in both their fixtures against Botswana and St. Helena followed by Botswana who have tucked away an emphatic ten - wicket win against Lesotho and a singular point from their rain affected match against Seychelles on the first day.
