Published on October 20, 2019, Kenya's hopes of posting the first win in the ICC 2020 T20 World Cup qualifiers were dashed for the second time in Dubai, UAE.

Scotland, who had an impressive innings scoring 170 for the loss of six wickets, elected to bat after winning the toss.

Kenyan bowlers initially seemed to be in control, with skipper Shem Ngoche dismissing Kyle Coetzer for 14 off 12 balls in 4.3 overs.

However, Calum MacLeod and George Munsey formed a partnership that resulted in 41 runs, before Lucas Oluoch cut it short by getting Munsey caught.

MacLeod then partnered with Richie Berrington for a 43-run partnership, but was eventually caught by Irfan Karim off Nelson Odhiambo's bowling, with Scotland's score six runs short of the century mark.

Collins Obuya bowled Berrington for 27 runs, securing Kenya's fourth wicket and ultimately leading to Scotland's victory.
