Jersey boosted their hopes of making the 2023 Cricket World Cup after thrashing Bermuda by 291 runs to win all five of the ICC Challenge League B matches in Uganda.

Openers Nick Greenwood (106) and Harrison Carlyon (73) again excelled as they put on 168 for the first wicket.

Jonty Jenner hit 52 and Julius Sumerauer scored 41 as Jersey made 371-8 - their biggest score of the week.

In reply, Bermuda were bowled out for just 80 in 17.5 overs.

The win sees Jersey go up to second place in ICC Challenge League B - although Hong Kong could go back above them should they beat Kenya on Monday.

The six-team group will play one final round of games against one another later this summer in Jersey, with the winners going on to the next stage of qualifying for a place at next year's World Cup in India.

Greenwood's 106 - his first century in Uganda - came off 80 balls and included 17 fours and a six while man of the match Carlyon scored 12 fours in his 73.

Jenner compiled a second successive half-century as he and Sumerauer put on 85 for the sixth wicket, and all but two of the Channel Island side's batters hit double figures.

In reply, Jersey's bowlers tore through a hapless Bermudan batting order as only opener Kamau Leverock offered any resistance.

The nephew of former Bermuda World Cup player Dwayne Leverock scored 63 off 51 balls, including six sixes and four fours.

But none of his team-mates scored more than four runs as Carlyon returned figures of 5-13, while Sumerauer took three wickets in five balls to mop up the Bermuda tail and finish with 3-19.
