NEPALESE television broadcast live Jersey's nine-wicket win over Fiji in the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division Five tournament in Kathmandu.

======STOP SUMMARY=====

After their disappointing defeat by Nepal on the opening day Jersey could not afford to miss out against probably the weakest nation, and they bowled Fiji out for 120 in 36.2 overs at Tribhuvan University, with Ben Stevens taking two wickets for 11 in an all-round team effort. Fiji's top scorers were Sekove Ravoka, Tikovanualevu Kida and veteran player Iniasi Cakacaka, each making 25, before Mathew Hague and Dean Morrison, in 53 balls, hit quick-fire fifties in reply.

Hague, who recently came out of retirement, said: "It was an important game for us to win. The first thing we have to do is get a couple of wins under our belt and ensure that we do stay in Division Five."

Fiji's coach Steve Jenkin reflected on his side’s second loss of the tournament: "It’s a bit early for in-depth reflections, but we were set up to score 250 plus and unfortunately we weren’t patient enough to get those runs and lost wickets too quickly. Our guys want to hit every ball – they aren’t showing the patience to stay there. We need to change that approach in our future games."

Nepal defeated Division Six champions Singapore by 16 runs in front of a crowd of more than 2,500 high-spirited home fans who had flocked to the University Ground. All-rounder Basanta Regmi put in a shining all-round performance for the Nepalese with a hard-fought innings of 54 and bowling figures of 2-33 while Sanjam Regmi, no relation, took 4-28. Former Singapore Under-19 batsman Anish Param top-scored for the losers with 41.

Lennox Cush, 35, the former Guyana off-spin all-rounder, who switched to American residency in 2006, shone for the United States in a 19-run win over Bahrain at the Army Ground. Cush smashed 11 fours and two sixes in making his 91, with his captain Steve Massiah adding a gritty 67. The former Pakistan seam-bowler Mohsin Kamal, Bahrain's coach, said: "We still have another three matches and a 50-50 chance of qualifying. The USA have already won two matches and we don’t mind if they win all their matches. We just need to win our last three matches and we will try our best."
