Bermuda were heading for almost certain defeat in their opening World One-Day Cricket League clash against hosts Kenya at the Jaffreys Sports ground today.

Having lost the toss and been put into bat, Bermuda were skittled out for 133 in 39.3 overs.

Apart from a brave half-century from opener Dean Minors (52) and a late slog from last man Kevin Hurdle (23), Bermuda's bats failed to come to terms with Kenya's varied attack.

Next highest scorer was Janeiro Tucker (17), who with Minors provided the best partnership of the innings worth exatly 50 runs.
