Jersey's Peter Gough and Ben Stevens both put in good all-round performances today at the Bayuemas Oval as Jersey beat Nigeria by 60 runs.
Batting first after losing the toss, the Jersey opening pair of Gough and Nathaniel Watkins put on 52 before Watkins was out lbw in the 11th over. Gough and Stevens then put on 76 for the second wicket, that partnership ending when Stevens was out for 49.
Gough stayed in to score 66, whilst Jersey went on to score 238-5 from their 50 overs. Joshua Ogunlola was the pick of the Nigerian bowlers with 3-46.
Nigeria never really got going in reply, with Segun Olayinka and Dotun Olatunji the only batsmen to score over 20, making 29 and 37 respectively.
Ben Stevens was the pick of the Jersey bowlers with 3-16, with Peter Gough taking 2-14 as Nigeria were bowled out for 175.
Jersey will play Tanzania tomorrow, whilst Nigeria will take on Jersey's Channel Island rivals Guernsey.
