Malinga took his second hat trick of the world cup becoming the only bowler to have 2 hat tricks in the tournament. His previous was against SA in 2007. Malinga took 6 wickets overall and was the obvious choice for man of the match.
Kenya batting first lost 2 wickets in 2 overs. Then the Obuya brothers offered lot of resistance batting for 30 overs but they could only manage 92 runs.At this run rate, they never looked good but they did manage to frustrate the Lankans. Malinga then dismantled the tail by taking a hat trick off his last 3 balls destroying the Kenyans completely. His toe crushers were so good that the Kenyan batsmen couldnt even see them before they took out their stumps.
Chasing 142 runs to win, Lankans did it in style with a quick fire 44 from Dilshan and Tharanga's 67.They completed the chase in 18.4 overs losing just 1 wicket.
Kenya 142 in 43.4 overs(C Obuya 52,D Obuya 51 Malinga 6 for 38)
Sri Lanka 146 in 18.4 overs(Dilshan 44, Tharanga 67) won by 9 wickets
