Team India football skipper Sunil Chhetri scored a brace in his 100th international match as the hosts beat Kenya 3-0 to seal a final berth in the four-nation Intercontinental Cup in Mumbai on June 4.
The thunderous outpour of rain made life difficult for both the teams and both adjusted to playing on a wet surface in the opening minutes, with neither taking the risk of attacking.
Kenya looked the better side in a scrappy 45 minutes as Chhetri chased down another Subashish Bose long ball but Matasi averted the danger on the edge of the box.
The first half ended nil-nil as the game was marred by weather conditions.
The second half did start on a good note as the weather conditions got better and India took the lead through Sunil Chhetri.
