Rafique helps Bangladesh clinch ODI series against Kenya

Mohammad Rafique's fine all-round effort helped Bangladesh to a 20-run win against Kenya in the third one-day international here on Thursday. Rafique scored a brisk 33 and then grabbed 5-47 as the home side clinched the series with a match still remaining.
Electing to bat first, Bangladesh scored 231, which proved enough to continue their winn6. Seamers Peter Ongondo and Steve Tikolo bagged three wickets each but with former captain Khaled Mashud (39) and Rafique on form, Bangladesh were never in much trouble.
