Netherlands U19 and Jersey U19 will lock horns in Match No. 4 of the ICC U19 World Cup Europe Qualifiers 2021 on Friday, September 24, at the Desert Springs Cricket Ground in Spain.
The Netherlands, led by Vikramjit Singh, have had an indifferent run in the tournament so far. The team started with a resounding 33-run victory over Ireland in their opening match on Sunday, September 19. However, they lost to Scotland by six wickets on Tuesday.
Batting first, the Netherlands were shot out for a mere 110 in 47 overs. Aryan Dutt top-scored for them with 21. Shirase Raoul Rasool and Pierre Jacod were the other two batters, who got into double digits. The Netherlands chased the target down in 27.4 overs.
Jersey, led by Josh Lawrenson, on the other hand, are languishing at the bottom of the points table. They started with a hefty eight-wicket loss at the hands of Scotland. In their second match on Wednesday, Jersey gave a tough fight to the Tim Tector-led Ireland.
After electing to field first, they restricted Ireland to 246 after Jack Dickson’s unbeaten 126-ball 103 with seven fours and four sixes. In the run-chase, Patrick Gouge and Asa Tribe scored 55 and 62 respectively, but their efforts went in vain as Jersey ended with 206 for nine.
