It was Australia's first game, and they sure made it big !!! Ponting had a very interesting comment to make at the toss... He said that even though they are no longer world champions, they still are the favourites to win the cup... Which might be true from his line of view, but the only difference this time is that there are a lot of teams capable of causing a biiiiiiig dent to that thought of Mr. Ponting :)
Kenya, on the other hand, started off very calmly and on a positive note. They had Canada on the backfoot in all domains of the game, dismissing them for just under 200. That was never going to be a tough chase with the now-vastly experienced Kenyan batting attack.. So, Kenya open their account in the points table as well...
