New Delhi, Mar 7: Captain Ashish Bagai and Jimmy Hansra both made half-centuries in a 132-run stand to set up just a second-ever World Cup win for Canada as it beat Kenya by five wickets on Monday.


Bagai was 64 not out and Hansra made 70, lifting Canada from 48-3 and helping it past Kenya's 198 all out in the battle of Group A's bottom teams at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.

Kenya slumped to a fourth successive loss at this tournament.

Tamnay Mishra had earlier made 51 and anchored consecutive half-century partnerships with captain Jimmy Kamande and Thomas Odoyo, who also made 51, as Kenya avoided an embarrassing collapse.

Canada fast bowler Henry Osinde produced an opening burst of 3-7 to help send Kenya reeling at 57-5. Osinde finished with a career-best 4-26. AP
