Jersey won the toss and put France in to bat – a decision which initially looked to be backfiring as their opponents tore into the opening overs.
Nasibullah Arab hit 33 off just 12 balls before being caught of Julius Sumerauer’s bowling to leave France on 42-2 off 3.5 overs.
The wicket stalled France’s scoring rate as Charles Perchard claimed the scalps of Christian Roberts and Zada Sher as they moved on to 59-4 off 7.5 overs.
But France rallied in their middle order – Mohammad Khan Rafah hit 47 off 26 balls and Rahimgul Naseri scored 17 as the pair put on 41 for the sixth wicket.
But once Rafah was caught off Dominic Blampied’s bowling to leave France on 114-6 from 14 overs Jersey were able to take the final four wickets for 31 runs to bowl their opponents out for 145 off 19.2 overs.
Five Jersey bowlers took two wickets each – Zak Tribe’s 2-2 off 1.2 overs the pick of the quintet as Perchard took 2-16.
In reply Jersey’s openers Carlyon and Gouge shared a 93-run stand that lasted 9.4 overs before Gouge was caught for 54 off 34 balls having hit four sixes and three fours.
Nick Greenwood went for a single soon after, but Jersey continued to be well above the required run-rate as Carlyon and Jonty Jenner guided them home.
Jenner let fly with the bat as he made 33 off just 15 balls while Carlyon’s 57 came off 42 balls and included six fours and a six as they took Jersey to 148-2 off 15.5 overs.
The tally took Carlyon past 1,000 runs in T20 international matches for Jersey – the third player to reach the milestone.
