Odumbe top-scored with an unbeaten 52 in Kenya's 217 for seven before taking four for 38 in 10 overs as Test nation Bangladesh slumped to 185 all out in the Group B encounter.

No side without Test status has ever got beyond the first round of a World Cup before.

Kenya, who beat Sri Lanka in their previous outing in Nairobi on Monday to record one of the World Cup's great shocks, joined defending champions Australia and India in the next phase.

Kenya captain Steve Tikolo, whose side have one-day status but struggle to command regular fixtures against the world's leading sides, was jubilant.

``We have always been asking for more games and this is our chance to play some more,'' he said.

``These wins have been good for us and hopefully Kenyan cricket can go up from there.''

``After our (10-wicket) loss to South Africa, we were low. But the boys picked themselves up. After the Sri Lanka game, we knew we had a chance.

``Today was the day to make it come true, and the boys did it.''

SECURITY CONCERNS
Kenya now have 16 points in Group B, having won three games and been awarded a forfeit after New Zealand refused to travel to Nairobi over security concerns.

Sri Lanka, yet to qualify, also have 16 with South Africa, West Indies and New Zealand also still in contention.

Yesterday's result was no great surprise.

Bangladesh were granted Test status ahead of Kenya three years ago but have lost six of their seven one-day meetings.

Bangladesh have now gone 32 consecutive one-dayers without a win, their last victory dating back to the 1999 World Cup.

The 33-year-old Odumbe, who played in Kenya's other World Cup upset, a 1996 win over West Indies, added: ``I've always made a point of being a man-of-the-match in every World Cup and I'm so happy that I did it again today.

``This win shows that we are improving by leaps and bounds and hopefully we can keep it going.''

Chasing 218 to win, Bangladesh lost wickets at regular intervals, with only Tushar Imran, with a composed 48, and Akram Khan, smashing a 58-ball 44, offering resistance.

While Akram was at the crease, Bangladesh always had some hope but all that ended with his dismissal in the 46th over, when he hoisted Tikolo's occasional off spin to deep midwicket.

SECOND ATTEMPT
Substitute fielder Joseph Angara accepted the catch at the second attempt.

Odumbe, bowling his 10 overs in one spell, removed Alok Kapali (18), Imran, Sanwar Hossain (16) and captain Khaled Mahmud (three) as Kenya recorded their fourth victory of the tournament.

Earlier Odumbe's 46-ball half-century helped his side recover after they had slipped to 124 for five.

Kenya had looked good on 68 for one before Brijal Patel (32) and Ravindu Shah (37) were parted.

Off-spinner Hossain then cut through the middle order with the wickets of Tikolo (27), Hitesh Modi (12) and Thomas Odoyo (19).

``We are very disappointed because 217 was not too big a total,'' said Bangladesh captain Mahmud.

``After 25 overs, we were easily within reach but nobody settled and we gave our wickets away. I think mentally we are down, after our (60-run) loss to Canada.

``Every match here has been important for us but we haven't had any luck ... There's a lot of hard work to be done.''
