Afghanistan 96 for 3 (Nabi 42*) beat Kenya 93 (Ouma 39, Hotak 3-19) by seven wickets

Afghanistan secured their passage to Australia and New Zealand in 2015 by beating Kenya comprehensively for the second time in succession in Sharjah, sealing their maiden World Cup qualification. They finished second in the World Cricket League Championship - nine wins in 14 matches - and joined Ireland as the second Associate team in the 2015 World Cup, while the remaining two spots for Associates will be decided by a qualifying tournament in New Zealand in 2014.

I had read somewhere that there will only be test playing nations in world cups. Perhaps the decision is taken back or might be applicable after 2015 world. It was also written there that test championship is under consideration and T20 world cup will be held once every four year. So there will be one major cricket event once every year. That is, 50 over world cup, T20 world cup, champions trophy and test championship.
