Bangladesh in 10 wicket victory
By RICHARD MWANGI
The visiting Bangladesh 'A' wound up their tour of Kenya with a ten-wicket win in their three-day game against the Kenya Development side at Aga Khan Sports Club yesterday.

The Kenyan side was in deep waters at one point needing 26 runs to stop the visitors from winning by a innings.

Charles Ochieng Obuya (78) saved the situation when he shared a tenth wicket partnership of 48 runs with Jadvji Bhimji (13) in Kenya's second innings that ended with 292 runs showing on board.

The Kenya Development team set a target of 38 for Bangladesh 'A'. And in reply, Hannan Sharkar (17) and Rafiqul Khan (13) shared unbroken first wicket stand of 41 in 4.5 overs of their second innings.

The match was nearly marred by poor officiating when the two match umpires, Hirani Naran and Ashok Goshe, allowed more than five fielders to field on the leg side.

Lalji Bhudia, the secretary of Kenya Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association, tried in vain to draw the intention of the two to no avail.
