Scotland restricted Kenya to 177 all out to register their 4th victory from as many games in the tournament.
Chasing 255 to win, Kenya got off to the worst possible start when opener Maurice Ouma fell lbw to an inspired John Blain. David Obuya kept up his run rate at the other end, but Blain struck again in the 10th over to have Kenya at 2/38. Obuya then holed out to the first ball of the bowling change - a wicket Dougie Brown will be especially happy with considering it was far from his best ball of the day.

Tikolo and Mishra put on 30 for the next wicket, but when Brown had the Kenyan captain lbw for 17 with the score still on 74, Kenya were in serious trouble. Collins Obuya fell the following over having hardly troubled the scorers, bringing the Friday's hero, Thomas Odoyo to the crease. Both batsmen were content to work the ball around rather than going for big shots, but in the end it was this that became their undoing. Mishra was run out going for a risky second and Kenya were 6/118 with 20 overs left.

Neither Kamande nor Ongondo were able to offer the resistance needed, and once again it was left to Hiren Varaiya to try and see Odoyo through. Lightning failed to strike twice however, and despite a couple of fours by Odoyo, one of which was a dropped catch on the boundary, one of which brought up his fifty, this was a match that Scotland were never in danger of losing. In the end, Odoyo holed out to man-of-the-match Haq at long on off John Blain and Scotland had confirmed their place in the final. Haq, who had earlier top scored for Scotland, also returned the best bowling figures - his 3/26 off 9 effectively mopping up the tail

Earlier, Kenya had fought back in the later overs of the Scotland innings to restrict the visitors to 8/254 after a flying start. Scotland had won the toss and elected to bat despite a few morning clouds still persisting. It proved a good decision as Watts and Haq put on a century partnership for the fist wicket. Hiren Varaiya made the breakthrough for Kenya clean bowling Watts for 58 after the quicks had failed to make an impression, though Watts had been caught off an Ongondo no-ball in the fourth over.

Watson was run out not long after with the score on 124, after a mix up in the calling, and Kenya looked like they were working their way back into the game. Hamilton however, joined Haq (71) at the crease and the pair put on 50 for the third wicket before the opener popped up a return catch to Tikolo, which the Kenyan captain gleefully pounced on. Kenya's fielding was an improvement on the Ireland game, but there are still aspects that need work, especially the return throws under pressure.

It then became a steady procession of wickets for the Scots, though they were still able to keep the run rate ticking along, perhaps the difference between the sides today. McCallum became the second run-out of the innings with the score on 177 and when Tikolo had both Brown and Smith caught on the boundary by Shah with the scores on 204 and 208, you definitely got the feeling that Kenya thought themselves back in the game. The body language picked up and the fielding became sharper.

Hamilton continued to push the runs along, but was caught by Odoyo off the first ball of Peter Ongondo's return. With Wright and Blain at the crease, it still looked possible that Scotland might put on a late burst, and while there were a couple of boundaries, on the whole the Kenyan bowlers did well at the end. Ongondo well rewarded when he sent Blain's off stump cart-wheeling in the final over. Two balls later, he would have had Wright as well, but for the second time in the match, the catch was taken off a no-ball.

Kenya will not be happy with either the result, nor the way their batsmen gave away careless wickets and will need to bounce back with a win against Canada at Jafferys tomorrow if they are to get a chance at avenging this loss in the final. Scotland go into their last match on a high having beaten every team they have played so far in the event. Their last match against Bermuda is unlikely to see that pattern broken and whatever the result on Wednesday, they will be able to return home with heads held high after a job well done.
