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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The tally took Carlyon past 1,000 runs in T20 international matches for Jersey – the third player to reach the milestone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jersey won the toss and put France in to bat – a decision which initially looked to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-593792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=593792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=593792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=593792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=593792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
