In reply, Porterfield, who has been out of business for a while, found good partners in Cusack and lower down the order as he anchored the innings with a fine 81 as Ireland reached 215/7 off 48.5 overs. Cusack contributed 30 runs and all the other batsmen chipped in as well. 
Thomas Odoyo claimed 4/33 for Kenya but he didnt find enough support from the other end.LATEST SCORES
