Kenya vice-captain Thomas Odoyo slogged an unbeaten 61 off 36 balls, inclusive of three sixes and two fours, to hand his side another victory in the World Cricket League tournament on Friday. Kenya won by one wicket with six balls to spare.

Opponents Ireland had posted 284-4 after centuries from William Porterfield (104 not out) and Kevin O'Brien (142).

At 231-9, it all looked over for Kenya but Odoyo turned the game on its head, hitting two successive sixes, a four and a two in the 49th over to clinch victory on 286-9.

It was the Kenyans' third win of the pre-World Cup tournament after successes over Bermuda and the Netherlands.
