Ireland bounce back to beat Kenya

Ireland recovered from a heavy opening defeat by Zimbabwe to beat Kenya by 86 runs in their second match of the Tri-Nation Tournament in Nairobi.

Kevin O'Brien top-scored for Ireland with 83 off 52 balls, a knock that featured five sixes and seven fours, before he was run out.

Opener William Porterfield hit 41 and an unbeaten 36 from Alex Cusack helped them to 285-6 from 47 overs.

Cusack then claimed 3-29 as six bowlers took wickets to dismiss Kenya for 199.
