Kenyan brothers at centre stage

Two Kenyan brothers took centre stage at the World Cup after guiding Kenya to a shock victory over group leaders Sri Lanka, in the biggest upset of the tournament. First to shine was Kennedy Otieno who top scored with 60 off 88 balls helping Kenya pile 210.

Kenya's total, however, didn't appear too intimidating on a slowish pitch. But a national one-day best of five for 24 in 10 overs by Otieno's brother Collins Obuya destroyed Sri Lanka's middle order and put Kenya on the path to victory.
