Jersey 111 for 7 (59 * Morrison, Akolade 3-22) beat Nigeria by 110 (Faudemer 4-25) by three windows
Scorecard
Jersey came within one win of three wickets in Nigeria in the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur, in a repeat of the third inning of game that the parties had been forced to leave due to bad weather on Tuesday.
The draw for the game was held as scheduled, with the choice of field of New Jersey, but when Captain Peter Gough had made his decision time has taken a turn for the worse and blew clouds of rain, a delayed start and the match was reduced to 40 overs.
Nigerian striker has struggled throughout the tournament and they had a day off as a 20-year-old left-arm spinner James Faudemer picked 4 for 25 including the wickets main batsmen to top Varun Behan, Oluwaseun Odeku and player Coach Sean Philips. Behan was top scorer with 25 of Nigeria when they were thrown for 110 in 32 overs.
Nigeria fought for the ball, because after a quick lap, claimed three wickets before lunch. Jersey captain Gough has been promoted to open the padded side of Ed Farley, the second leaves the duck after facing only three balls. Gough managed only six before being dismissed by Joshua Ogunlola, medium pacer to find the edge of his bat.
Saheed Akolade then rejected Ben Stevens, clean bowling four overs and 19 years later Akolade sent Ben Silva package after 33 years was taken by some astute Ramit Gill Fielding. Jersey fell to 88-7, but they were seen at home by Dean Morrison 59th undefeated
"I usually do not open the joke, but today Peter Gough opened the other hand, I was number six today," said Morrison. "We lost wickets early, including two before the break, which was not good and it was up to me and Corey Bisson steady the ship and we made 52 run partnership before his departure. It was about using the padding to ensure that we have reached target level, even though it was only once or to save.
"As I said, normally open, but when I play in Australia, which used to go in order when I arrived today at six, I knew I had to do to help the bat with the tail. We had to keep trying for the win and I said to the guys who came to join me this was going to go ahead and get the win.
"It kind of takes the heat that we have a new victory, but we can not be complacent, we have to win tomorrow for us to maintain a chance in this tournament."
