Pakistan will face a strong Kenyan side in their second match of the 4-Nation African Tournament in Mauritius. The Men in Green will be determined to put in a much better performance after their devastating 3-0 loss against the host nation in the opening encounter.
The Green Shirts will be aiming for a positive result and get their first win in eight international matches. Their previous victory came against Bhutan in SAFF Championships in 2018. Since then, Pakistan has lost seven consecutive matches.
Pakistan has been handed a boost in the upcoming encounter as former England Under-19 defender, Easah Suliman has joined the squad. Suliman along with Denmark-based defender, Abdullah Iqbal were not available for the match against Mauritius due to club commitments.
The introduction of the two world-class players will provide a much-needed defensive boost to the team as they looked fragile at the back in the previous match.
As for Kenya, they forfeited their first match against Djibouti as they were not able to arrive in Mauritius due to a mishap in flight arrangements. This will be Kenya’s first match in the competition.
