Jersey cruised to a six-wicket win over Denmark in the opening match of a three-game series.<\/p>\n

The matches are Jersey’s final warm-up matches before the first round of qualifying for the 2028 T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Jersey won the toss and sent the Danes into bat at the Svanholm Cricket Club in Copenhagen. <\/p>\n

The island’s bowlers proved too strong for Denmark’s top order as they were reduced to 20-5 off 5.5 overs with Dan Birrell taking 3-18.<\/p>\n

George Richardson returned figures of 2-7 before Abdullah Mahmood (31) and Shakerullah Safi (26) put on 47 runs for the seventh wicket.<\/p>\n

Nick Greenwood went on to take 3-15 from 16 balls as Denmark were bowled out for 92 with two balls to spare. <\/p>\n

In reply, Harrison Carlyon and Patrick Gouge put on 33 for the opening wicket before Carlyon was caught on 18 in the fourth over. <\/p>\n

Gouge went on to hit 37 off 25 balls before being dismissed at the start of the eighth over to leave Jersey on 66-2. <\/p>\n

Greenwood went on to make 14, as Jonty Jenner (13 not out) and Zak Tribe (8) helped guide the islanders home as they reached 93-4 off 11.2 overs.<\/p>\n
