Zak Tribe’s 150 helped Jersey set its highest total in a 50-over game, with the victory securing a place in December’s qualifier play-off in Nepal.
Jersey beat Papua New Guinea by 172 runs in Nairobi to secure progression to the next stage of Cricket World Cup qualifying, BBC Sport reported on 22 October.
The teams were competing in Challenge League A, where a top-two finish earns a place in the qualifier play-off. The victory guarantees Jersey one of those two places; it is progression through qualifying, not a place at the World Cup itself.
| Team | Score |
|---|---|
| Jersey | 347 runs for five wickets |
| Papua New Guinea | 175 all out |
Jersey had lost two batters with only 58 runs scored when Zak Tribe joined opener Josh Lawrenson. The pair added 165 runs before Lawrenson was dismissed. Tribe went on to make 150, his highest score for Jersey.
Jonty Jenner then accelerated the scoring with 72 from just 23 balls, including nine sixes and two fours. Jenner and Tribe added 113 runs together, helping Jersey reach its record total.
Ben Ward led Jersey’s bowling response, taking five wickets—dismissing five batters—while conceding 49 runs. Papua New Guinea fell to 101 for eight wickets before late resistance helped it reach 175 all out.
The 16-year-old was sent off at Fleetwood in his second start of the season, leaving Arsenal short of wing options before Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
