SCMP Reporter

Hong Kong captain Babar Hayat is one of many batsmen in the line-up hoping to score runs in their two ICC World Cricket League Championship one-day matches against Kenya in Nairobi.
Hayat, Nizakat Khan and Anshuman Rath are among a host of players who form a strong and deep batting line-up for Hong Kong as they look to go top of the eight-team WCLC table.
Kenya are fifth and Hong Kong will be confident of getting something out of the matches after their 2-1 series win over Papua New Guinea last week. The matches are on November 18 and 20.
