What Happened In The 1st Match
Rain interrupted the middle of the day, and Nepal made 250 for 8 in their 50 overs after being sent in. Kushal Bhurtel and Bhim Sharki put on 122 for the second wicket after Aasif Sheikh was out early for 16, bowled by George Richardson. Sharki made 39 before Ben Ward bowled him, one of the debutant’s two wickets that day.
Jersey’s reply fell apart early. They slipped to 59 for 8 in just 19.4 overs, with Karan KC, Hemant Dhami and Aarif Sheikh sharing the damage. From there, Charlie Brennan and Daniel Birrell added 106 for the ninth wicket, Brennan finishing unbeaten on 82 off 111 balls with seven fours and a six, and Birrell making 41. Jersey were bowled out for 169 in 41 overs, and Nepal won by 81 runs. Aarif Sheikh finished with 3 for 9 from 5 overs, and Hemant Dhami took 4 for 37.
Jersey: A Lower Order Fight Worth Remembering
Six wickets down for 59 inside 20 overs is a bad morning by any measure, but Charlie Brennan’s unbeaten 82 and Daniel Birrell’s 41 turned a heavy defeat into a respectable one. That ninth wicket stand of 106 is what Jersey will try to build a full team performance around this time.
The bowling has depth too. Ben Ward took two wickets on his first appearance at this level, and Charles Perchard, Julius Sumerauer and Birrell give the side control with both bat and ball. One squad change to note: Dominic Blampied, Toby Britton and Scott van Breda become available for this match after sitting out the opener, while George Richardson, who took the wicket of Aasif Sheikh, drops out as he was only available for Monday’s game.
Nepal: Bhurtel And Sharki Set The Platform
Nepal’s top order did the job that mattered. Bhurtel and Sharki’s stand of 122 was the difference between a par score and a match winning one, and the bowling then did the rest, with Aarif Sheikh, Hemant Dhami and Karan KC sharing seven wickets between them. Sandeep Lamichhane bowled seven overs for 1 for 38, more expensive than usual, and Nepal will want tighter overs from him in the decider.
One name worth watching is Hemant Dhami, whose 4 for 37 was the best return of the innings and does not appear in Nepal’s originally listed touring squad. His performance confirms he is part of this XI, whatever the earlier squad announcement suggested, and it is a reminder that touring party lists in Associate cricket often shift once a series begins.
JSY vs NEP Head To Head Record
Nepal lead 1 0 after Monday’s win, the first competitive result between these two countries in the 50 over format. The teams also met once before in T20Is, at the 2015 World T20 Qualifier in Belfast, where Jersey won by seven wickets.
Grainville Pitch Report: Runs Are There, But So Are Collapses
Across the last ten matches at Grainville, pace bowlers have taken 65 percent of the wickets against 35 percent for spin, and Monday’s game followed that pattern, with Jersey losing wickets in clusters against the new ball and the change bowlers rather than to turn.
Recent matches at National Cricket Centre, Grainville:
| Match | 1st Innings | 2nd Innings | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| JSY vs NEP, 1st match 2026 | NEP 250/8 | JSY 169 | Nepal won by 81 runs |
| JSY vs QAT, CWC League A | JSY 136/2 | QAT 132 | Jersey won |
| DEN vs KUW, CWC League A | DEN 162 | KUW 166/3 | Kuwait won |
Venue stats (last 10 matches):
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Pace wickets | 65% |
| Spin wickets | 35% |
Two of the last three completed games at this ground have gone to the chasing side, and Monday’s total of 250 proved well beyond what Jersey’s top order could handle, even though their tail took the margin below three figures. The 11.00 AM start gives seam bowlers early assistance in cool conditions, and both attacks will look to repeat that opening burst that did so much damage on Monday.
Jersey Weather Report For JSY vs NEP
Cooler than Monday. The forecast for Wednesday in Jersey shows a temperature around 15 to 17 degrees with a real chance of showers given how unsettled the week has been. Fielders should expect a fresh morning, and any rain would bring DLS calculations back into play after already affecting the opener.
JSY vs NEP Probable Playing XIs
Jersey (probable): Jake Dunford, Nick Greenwood, Zak Tribe, Charlie Brennan, Jonty Jenner, Harrison Carlyon, Patrick Gouge (wk), Charles Perchard (c), Julius Sumerauer, Benjamin Ward, Daniel Birrell
Dominic Blampied, Toby Britton and Scott van Breda are all available for this match and could come in for a change of attack, most likely at the expense of a bowling all rounder. Stanley Norman and George Richardson are the other squad members, with Richardson unavailable for this game.
Nepal (probable): Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Rohit Paudel (c), Bhim Sharki, Aarif Sheikh, Dipendra Singh Airee, Sundeep Jora, Karan KC, Sompal Kami, Sandeep Lamichhane, Hemant Dhami
This is essentially Monday’s winning combination. Gulshan Jha, Kushal Malla, Basir Ahamad, Lalit Rajbanshi, Rijan Dhakal and Pratish GC are the other squad options if Nepal choose to rotate with the series already won.
Key Player Battles
Charlie Brennan vs Karan KC: Brennan rescued Jersey with the bat on Monday and Karan struck early with the ball in the same innings. If Karan removes Brennan cheaply this time, Jersey’s lower order has no recent form to fall back on.
Kushal Bhurtel vs Ben Ward: Bhurtel anchored the stand that won the 1st match, and Ward is Jersey’s most exciting new bowling option. How the Nepal top order handles him in the first ten overs will shape the total.
Daniel Birrell vs Hemant Dhami: Birrell’s 41 was central to Jersey’s recovery, and Dhami’s 4 for 37 was the most dangerous spell of the match. Both were the standout performers outside the headline names, and neither side can afford to let them repeat it against them again.
JSY vs NEP Fantasy Team Prediction (Small Leagues)
Wicketkeeper: Aasif Sheikh
Batters: Kushal Bhurtel (VC), Bhim Sharki, Charlie Brennan
All Rounders: Rohit Paudel, Charles Perchard, Karan KC
Bowlers: Hemant Dhami (C), Aarif Sheikh, Daniel Birrell, Sandeep Lamichhane
Dhami is the captain fresh off a 4 for 37, the best bowling figures in the match. Bhurtel is the vice captain after his role in the series defining stand. Brennan is in the side purely on the strength of his unbeaten 82, and the bowling group is built from the seven wickets Nepal’s attack shared in the opener.
JSY vs NEP Fantasy Team Prediction (Grand Leagues)
For grand leagues, this second JSY vs NEP fantasy team leaves out Dhami and Bhurtel, who will be the two most owned players in this match.
Wicketkeeper: Patrick Gouge
Batters: Bhim Sharki, Nick Greenwood, Zak Tribe, Sundeep Jora
All Rounders: Charles Perchard (C), Dipendra Singh Airee (VC)
Bowlers: Aarif Sheikh, Karan KC, Ben Ward, Julius Sumerauer
Perchard as captain is the differential, a genuine all rounder who has not yet had his best game of the series. Airee is the vice captain as a wicket taking option who has not been among the headline names yet. Ward’s two wickets on debut make him a low owned bowling option with real upside, and Greenwood and Tribe are picks on the theory that Jersey’s top order is due a proper contribution after Monday’s collapse to 59 for 8.

JSY vs NEP 2nd Match Prediction
Nepal have already won the series, and it showed in how comfortably they controlled the middle of Monday’s game even after Jersey’s fightback. Bhurtel and Sharki gave them the platform, and Aarif Sheikh and Dhami did the rest. Jersey’s issue was never with fight, it was with the top order collapsing in a heap before the recovery began. Unless that changes, Nepal should be too strong again. But a Nepal side already up 1 0 could rotate, and Jersey have the changes in Blampied, Britton and van Breda to freshen their attack. A consolation win for the hosts is well within reach if their top six bat the way Brennan and Birrell did from number six down.
