DELHI: Kenya captain Jimmy Kamande has won the toss and elected to bat against Canada in their World Cup Group A match here at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground on Monday The pitch was supposed to aid the spinners and get lower and slower as the match progressed. This is why Canada have included two spinners in their team in left-arm spinner Parth Desai and leg spinner Balaji Rao.Teams:Kenya: Maurice Ouma, Seren Waters, Collins Obuya, David Obuya, Steve Tikolo, Tanmay Mishra, Jimmy Kamande (captain), Thomas Odoyo, Nehemiah Odhiambo, Elijah Otieno, James Ngoche.Canada - Rizwan Cheema, Ruvindu Gunasekara, Zubin Surkari, Ashish Bagai (captain), Jimmy Hansra, Tyson Gordon, John Davison, Harvir Baidwan, Parth Desai, Henry Osinde, Balaji Rao Both teams know that it will be their best chance to post a win in the World Cup.The whipping boys, who have each lost all three of their matches so far, will also hope that they will be able to breach the 150-run mark for the first time in this tournament.While Kenya have been bundled out for scores of 69, 112 and 142 -- amassing just 323 runs in their three outings – Canada have fared little better.The North Americans have managed 122, 123 and 138 in their matches against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Pakistan, respectively.
