5 best ODI spells by Associate country bowlers

#1 Collins Obuya - 5/24 against Sri Lanka at Nairobi (2003)

Collins Obuya's magical spell shocked a strong Sri Lankan batting unit in the 2003 World Cup

Drafted into Pool B in the 2003 World Cup, Kenya started their campaign with a shellacking at the hands of South Africa. After sneaking past Canada, they received a timely boost when New Zealand refused to travel to Nairobi citing security reasons. The Kiwis had to forego four points to the emerging African team.

Kenya took on Sri Lanka in a crucial encounter at Nairobi. The visitors made a gross miscalculation by opting to chase on a dry surface which was expected to deteriorate further later in the game. Opener Kennedy Otieno's half-century helped the hosts reach 210.

The new-ball duo of Martin Suji and Thomas Odoyo trumped over the accomplished opening combination of Sanath Jayasuriya and Marvan Atapattu. Then, it was the Collins Obuya show at the Gymkhana Club Ground. The leg-spinner, who also doubled up as a useful lower-order batsman, derailed Sri Lanka's run-chase in a stunning spell.

Obuya dismissed the likes of Hasan Tillakaratne, Mahela Jayawardene, Aravinda de Silva and Kumar Sangakkara. The middle-order quartet, among the best players of spin in the global arena, had no answer to the wrist-spinner's guile. The slew of soft dismissals allowed Kenya to complete a resonating 53-run triumph.
