Full commentary

13.05pm That's it from all of us. Hope you've enjoyed our coverage. Do keep tuning in for the rest of this tournament. Until next time, ta ta!

Peter Gough: "That was a massive performance from the team, under a bit of pressure as well. 130-140 we would have been confident chasing, so we were very happy chasing 106. We wanted to keep rotating the strike and use the left-right-hand partnerships. Any game in this level is brilliant for us to play in. We're happy with the way we've been playing, we're feeling confident, and we'll come out tomorrow and give it everything, do everything we can to try and win it for Jersey."

Paras Khadka: "It's been a very bad tournament for us, nothing has worked. We have tried different combinations and none of the plans have worked. It just didn't happen for us this time. I wouldn't say it was because of conditions. We just haven't been able to adapt our game plans as much as we would have liked to. There's a lot we can learn from this tournament, and hopefully we'll come back with flying colours next time."

Nat Watkins, who picked up three wickets with his left-arm spin, is man of the match. "I was just trying to change my pace and line and length as much as I could," he says. "The odd quicker one, the odd slower one, make it as difficult for them as possible."

12.53pm And that is that for Nepal. They go back home with only one win from six games. It's been a tough tournament for them. Jersey, though, have a chance to go through to the next round if they can get something out of tomorrow's match against Ireland. Excellent performance from them today. There was a brief wobble when they lost two wickets, including that of the impressive Jenner, in one over, but Stevens and Bodenstein have steered them home quite easily in the end.

16.1
4
Malla to Bodenstein, FOUR runs

short ball and he rocks back, deep in his crease, and pulls it away to the midwicket boundary to bring up Jersey's second win of the tournament

Gyanendra Malla comes on now. I think he bowls offspin. Around the wicket

Sompal Kami to Bodenstein, (no ball)

wide yorker, gets it right this time to slide under Bodenstein's bat, but he's overstepped by a fair distance

here's the bouncer, and it hurries through, and he's pulling against the angle, top-edges in the air but well short of mid-off

tries to slant it full and wide, looking for the wide yorker, maybe, and ends up bowling too wide

15.1
Sompal Kami to Bodenstein, no run

length ball outside off, and it beats the outside edge as the batsman pokes at it with an angled bat, without really coming forward
