After having posted the highest Twenty20 score of 260-6 in 20 overs, the World Cup runners-up restricted the hapless Kenyans to 88-9 in 19.3 overs to claim full points. The Lankan charge was led by opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya, who made 88 from 44 balls while skipper Mahela Jayawardene hammered a 27-ball 65 until Jehan Mubarak unleashed his fury on the Kenyan bowlers to hit an incredible 46 off just 13 balls to push the score to 260.
