beaten the Papuans by nine wickets<\/a> on Saturday, Guernsey were just as impressive a day later against a side who will play in the ICC Challenge League in Jersey this week.<\/p>\nBatting first, Guernsey made 274 all out from 48.3 overs as Alex Bushell hit 91 from 69 balls including seven sixes and six fours.<\/p>\n
He and Luke Bichard put on what proved to be a match-winning stand of 138 for the seventh wicket, before Bushell was one of Alei Nao’s five victims when he was trapped lbw with less than four overs to go.<\/p>\n
Bichard went on to make an unbeaten 69 off 95 balls while Nao had figures of 5-50.<\/p>\n
In reply, Adam Martel was the pick of Guernsey’s bowlers as he took 4-23, including the wicket of opener Sese Bau who had an impressive knock of 89 off 87 balls.<\/p>\n
But Bau’s team-mates could not back him up with just two Papua New Guinea batters reaching double figures as, for the second successive day, they struggled against Guernsey’s attack. <\/p>\n
Evan Le Huray and Tom Nightingale each took two wickets as Papua New Guinea were bowled out for 161 with 10 overs to spare. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guernsey completed their series against Papua New Guinea with another convincing win as they recorded a 113-run victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75455,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-75454","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\/75454","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=75454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
