Kenya beat Canada by seven wickets
	Gros Islet (St Lucia): Steve Tikolo and Maurice Ouma scored half centuries to guide Kenya to a seven-wicket win over Canada on Wednesday in the opening Group C match of the World Cup. Ouma scored 58 and the Tikolo made an unbeaten 72, including seven fours and a six, to help overhaul Canada's total of 199 all out with 40 balls to spare. Canada were bowled out for 199 with a free-scoring start pulled in by a frugal spin attack. Geoff Barnett top-scored with 41 off 50 balls, opening the batting by belting the ball around the Beausejour Cricket Stadium and taking advantage of the fast outfield. He hit nine boundaries - five of them in the 14th over off Nehemiah Odhiambo. Canada got 20 runs off that over, but Barnett was gone two balls later, lofting a catch to Tanmay Mishra at deep midwicket as he went for another boundary. The introduction of spinners Hiren Varaiya and Jimmy Kamande slowed Canada's run-rate and it never really regained momentum after Barnett's departure. Varaiya returned with figures of one wicket for 19 runs, including three maidens. Kamande took two for 25 and captain Steve Tikolo finished with two for 34. Barnett and Abdool Samad made a confident start after Kenya won the toss and sent Canada in to bat. Barnett hit successive boundaries off Peter Ongondo in the 10th over, to bring Canada past 40. Samad (15) was out four balls later, with Tikolo taking a low catch at backward point off Thomas Odoyo, during the second powerplay. Varaiya came into the attack in the 16th over, the last of the powerplays, and Ashish Bagai hit his first ball for four through cover. When Kamande came into the attack in the 20th, the spinners put the brakes on Canada's innings
