AUSTRALIA failed to bowl out a much-improved Kenya side, but still won by 60 runs to seal a quarter-final place.
Collins Obuya fell agonisingly short of a century on 98 not out as he and Tanmay Mishra (72) led the resistance for Kenya, who finished on 264-6.
But Kenya’s scoring rate never really threatened Australia, who made a daunting 324-6, helped by Mike Hussey’s key innings.
Hussey (54) and Michael Clarke (93) put on 114 runs for the fifth wicket.
“I thought the Kenyans did a reasonable job,” said Australia captain Ricky Ponting. “We were a bit rusty.”
