A Grand Final Before The Finals


The Big Picture

An early final is what the match is being called by the critics, former cricketers and cricket lovers in one voice as both Kenya and Ireland decide to go for an extended net session here at The Oval in England before the teams return from practice one last time prior to the big match. A loss would end the tournament for either side. Both teams enter the match with a solid if not spectacular form-line behind them. Ireland accounted for a plucky Netherlands after annihilating a lackluster Scotland before hanging around in a tense match against Kenya in the last round, the other finalists, Kenya have gone way above the expectations and thrashed teams like Afghanistan and Scotland before edging out Netherlands to make it to the final.

Alex Obanda's men have made the dream run possible by playing good resilient cricket. One of the features of their brand of cricket in the tournament has been ruthlessness as well. Many believed that it is this combination of ruthlessness and resilience that saw Kenya come back strongly from being in a situation of facing a heavy defeat to almost winning the match in the last round against none other than Ireland.

To state the obvious, Kenya will be heavily depend on Seren Waters, Hiren Varaiya and veterans Collins Obuya and Thomas Odoyo. Fortunately for them, all four have been in great form right throughout the season.

On the other hand, William Porterfield is an ambitious man and why not? He has the team to beat. Ireland's run in the second leg of the tournament have ironed out many of the flaws seen earlier in the tournament. However, the draw against Kenya in the last round also raise the question of Ireland being emotionally drained. Do they have fuel left in them to raise their game one final time?

A Familiar Opponent

Its the first final between the two teams in years but Ireland v Kenya is a fixture that has been played out quite a few times in the last few weeks -- twice since the beginning of the tournament. If the results of those two matches is any indication, then Kenya have a slight advantage, having being unbeaten on both occasions. Ireland have scored just once been able to score 300+ in the four innings of the two matches in ATA that being 328/8 in the last match. Interestingly, both the highest and the lowest score for Kenya against Ireland came in the same match. These facts mean the African team has the definite upper hand on mental front however, the win loss ratio looks drastically different when you look at the overall record between the two teams in all formats at the international level.


Route To The Final

Ireland

Ireland, by crushing Afghanistan in their very first match, started off in an aggressive fashion and went on beat associate first class heavyweights like Netherlands and Scotland in the matches to follow and brushing aside Canada too en-route to the final and is touted as the favorites to win the match despite their poor 0-1 record against Kenya in the leagues stages of the tournament since they have the force with them. Ireland will be hoping that the likes of Ed Joyce, Paul Stirling and Trent Johnston fire for if they continue their rich run of form, it will be very tough for Kenya to stop the Irishmen from putting their hands around the trophy.

Kenya

Kenya did not have the best of the starts to the tournament by facing a humiliating 121 run defeat against Netherlands and it took but have rode on the find of the season Seren Waters and it took a mammoth 190 run partnership from the veterans Collins Obuya and Thomas Odoyo in the next match to inspire what followed a complete turnaround of Kenya's chances in the tournament which can be judged by the fact that they have been unbeaten so far against the favorites and their opponents in the final, Ireland.


Watch Out For

Last time these two teams met, Seren Waters was Man of the Match for match turning 315 ball 117 run innings studded with 23 fours and a six over mid wicket off George Dockrell and has consistently made contributions in recent times: in the last five innings he has scored 117, 74, 33, 68 and 67. A mouth'water'ing show can't be too far away.

Ireland will have their hopes high on Paul Stirling to get them one stop closer to the test status, a thing that many believe they deserve. Stirling, averaging 60.5 against Kenya this season is the only Irish batsman to be able to reach the three figure against Kenya in the tournament with his scores reading 30, 4, 76 and 132.


Team News

Kenya have a settled lineup so far in this tournament and that is unlikely to change now which means the likes of Morris Ouma and Dominic Wesonga amongst others will be cheering for their team from the pavilion this time too. Seren Waters in particular has been outstanding at the top of the order and has been Man of the Match and his team would be hoping a great outing from him.

Kenya (possible XI) 1. Alex Obanda :c: 2. Seren Waters 3. Irfan Karim :wk: 4. Tanmay Mishra 5. Collins Obuya 6. Thomas Odoyo 7. Rakep Patel 8. Hiren Varaiya 9. Nehemiah Odhiambo 10. Lucas Oluoch 11. James Ngoche

John Mooney might not have done anything heinous with the bat, his bowling form is certainly a worry for Ireland having taken just 4 wickets at 62 runsper wicket. against Kenya in the previous two matches. Kevin O'Brien's form (7 wickets at 15 v Kenya) only worsens his case and Max Sorensen might get his first outing in the biggest match of the tournament so far despite the fact that Mooney has been adding runs at crucial junctures down the order.

Ireland (possible XI) 1. William Porterfield :c: 2. Paul Stirling 3. Ed Joyce 4. Niall O'Brien :wk: 5. Gary Wilson 6. Kevin O'Brien 7. Alex Cusack 8. Trent Johnston 9. Tim Murtagh 10. George Dockrell 11. John Monney/Max Sorensen


Pitch And Conditions

The pitch has little grass on it which will assist the seamers throughout the first day's play and once it is rolled over, batsmen will come into play with spinners too getting the decent purchase from it. The weather is expected to be clear with the temperatures being around 10-15?C throughout the day and there is no indication of rain for the next few days meaning we can expect the best of the conditions for cricket.


Stats And Trivia

  • Lucas Oluoch has the best bowling average for Kenya v Ireland matches in ATA with 13.57.
  • No Kenyan bowler has picked a five wicket haul against Ireland this season.
  • Trent Johnston is set to retire from all forms of cricket after the season.

I have been here for a while now and I can safely tell that this is the best wrietup and presentation of preview for the final match. Well done, Samuels. I am supporting Ireland.
 
Lovely, the best written piece of work I seen in this section, the hard work you put on this is just marvelous. Hats of to a great league, although we did manage Scotland who did finish below and yeah, I guess it wasn't our day in most of the games. Thank you for a wonderful league though. :cheers
 
Thanks for the appreciation folks. I will try my best to present the matches in a way that pleases you all.
