With this win, India stay on top of the Group 'A' table and will play Pakistan in a couple of days from now while Kenya will look to bounce back when they face Pakistan in an all-important clash tomorrow.
A dominating effort from the Indian outfit as Rishank Devadiga and Monu Goyat finished with Super 10s to their name while Girish Ernak and Sandeep Narwal contributed from the defense front. Such was the power-packed performance from Rishank and Monu that even Ajay Thakur, who led the way against Pakistan was content with leading the team from the court while his men went about their job in style.
Kenya, on the other hand, will want to take heart from the fact that they did do well to stay in the hunt, albeit for a short duration as Izaac Njoroge and David Mosambayi combined to gather most of their points.
Rishank Devadiga comes in for the Do or Die raid! He strikes! SUPER RAID for Rishank!
Poor, poor dash from the right corner as Rishank powers through the right corner and also gets touches on two other defenders to collect three more points!
Do or Die raid for Monu Goyat!! WOW, what a superstar! That's a SUPER RAID from Monu! Four points!
The left corner defender comes in with a tackle from the center but Monu pushes him away, the rest of the defence pounces in and manage to pull his hand away but Monu swivels on his back and plants his leg into the Indian half to steal all the spotlight!
India's hero from the previous game, Ajay Thakur has not had to do a lot of damage as the bulk of the scoring has been taken up by Monu Goyat and Rishank Devadiga. The defence has looked good too with Sandeep Narwal and Girish Ernak coming into their own in certain parts of the first half.
For Kenya, a poor start was overshadowed by a confidence boosting comeback as they have managed to claw their way back with a positive show. However, they still trail by 18 points and will need to pull up their socks to pose a challenge to this strong Indian setup.
