Kenya, fresh from a commanding 103-run thrashing of Denmark at the Nairobi Gymkhana, face Qatar on Saturday at 9:00 AM at the Ruaraka Sports Club Ground, before taking on Jersey on Sunday at 9:00 AM at the Nairobi Gymkhana.

The Kanbis A stalwart in the Nairobi County Cricket Association (NCCA) league, Gondaria, has brought calm leadership to a side blending youth and experience.

For Gondaria, this weekend is not just about two wins but about sustaining the positive brand of cricket that overwhelmed Denmark.

In Wednesday’s win, history repeated itself at the Gymkhana.

Irfan, son of Kenyan legend Aasif Karim, produced a Man of the Match performance with a masterful 106 off 115 balls, laced with 9 fours, to anchor Kenya to 324 for 7.
