Player Picks
George Van Heerden SA | BAT
The 20-year-old scored a blistering century in the opening game of the campaign. The right-handed batter scored 107 not out from 57 balls with 8 fours and 7 sixes. it was a terrific knock by the number 3 batter as he totally dominated the Ghana bowling attack.
Rakep Patel KNA | WK
Kenya skipper Rakep Patel showed his class with the bat in an otherwise shambolic batting display by his team. Patel scored 42 runs from 35 balls as Kenya were bowled out for 97 runs. Till he was in the crease Kenya had a great chance and opportunity to chase down the target. Once Rakep Patel fell, Kenya lost their last 6 wickets for just 18 runs to lose the game by 72 runs.
Lehan Botha SA | BOWL
South African all-rounder Lehan Botha showed his potential with a blistering display on the field. With the bat, Lehan Botha scored 46 not out from 25 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes. Lehan Bothan then bowled three overs for 19 runs and picked the wicket of opener Richmond Baaleri.
Lucas Ndandason KNA | BOWL
The best bowler on show during the opening round of games was Lucas Oluch. The veteran Kenyan fast bowler bowled four overs and picked 5/20 with the ball. The 32-year-old combined pace and swing well towards the early part of the innings. Oluch then came back into the attack and bowled with precision to complete his maiden fifer in T20 cricket.
Gurdeep Singh KNA | BAT
Kenyan Opener Gurdeep Singh batted well to score 22 runs. His strike rate though was a cause for concern as he scored his runs from 24 balls. Gurdeep Singh has so far played 11 games in his short career and has a career strike rate of 96 with a best of 44.
Jesse Prodehl SA | BOWL
A wily left-arm spinner with the ability to bowl well and contain the runs. On Sunday, Jesse Prodehl was amazing with the ball as he picked 2/10 from his four overs. With good flight and variation the South African bowler showed his skills and talents with the ball.

Collins Obuya
KNA | ALL
Once a very promising player, Collins Obuya is starting to find age catch up with him. The 42-year-old has been undergoing dismal form in recent times and his earlier exploits with the bat and ball are diminished.
Nelson Odhiambo
KNA | BOWL
Yet another veteran Kenyan who hasnāt been able to do well is none other than Nelson Odhiambo. The 34-year-old scored a duck with the bat and didnāt bowl an over. At one stage when he made his debut Odhiambo was considered one of the best pacers in his national side.
