I think they played positive Cricket. In a 3 day match, time is essense and thats why they declared early. That was the only way of getting a result favorable to them. If they had chose to bat and cross kenya's total the match would be a tame draw and kenya had run-rate and run per wicket advantage in the first innings. Thus (Kenya) would win the trophy.
