Ansari five-for decimates Jersey in 58-run Oman win
- Updated: May 23, 2016
Oman 205 for 9 (Maqsood 69, Jatinder 40, Hawkins-Kay 2-18) beat Jersey 147 (Hawkins-Kay 45, Ansari 5-27) by six wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball details
Slingy speedster Munis Ansari produced a yorker barrage that Jersey’s batsmen could not answer on his way to claiming 5 for 27 and Man of the Match honours in Oman’s 58-run win at St Saviour.

Jersey’s middle-order produced a resilient fightback after the team slipped to 43 for 4 during Ansari’s first spell in which he also claimed Cornelis Bodenstein caught behind for a duck. Jonty Jenner and Anthony Hawkins-Kay added 39 for the fifth wicket to give Jersey a bit of hope before Jenner slammed a full and wide ball straight back at left-arm spinner Aamir Kaleem, who took a stunning return catch for his second wicket to make it 82 for 5 one ball into the 24th over.
Hawkins-Kay grinded his way through the next 10 overs with an able ally in Luke Gallichan, who made 30 as part of a 61-run fifth wicket stand. After bowling five overs earlier, Ansari came back for a second spell to start the 33rd and the pair was able to negotiate him safely for his first two overs back but a key moment occurred on the first ball of Ansari’s eighth over in the 37th that contributed to the breakdown of the partnership.
