Jersey lost their opening game to Uganda and then lost again the next day to Hong Kong, putting them right down low at the bottom of the points table, with Kenya being the only other team in the 2019 CWC Challenge Group B competition with 2 losses in 2 games. Now, they play against Italy, who has played 1 and won 1 so far, beating Kenya on the second day of the tournament.
Having beaten such an experience team like Kenya, the Italian squad will have their tails up as they play Jersey in Match 7 of the tournament, a team looking down and out at the moment. This game kicks off at the same time as Bermuda vs Uganda at another pitch, and you can keep reading for our Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy preview of the ITA vs JER game…

Italy
Someone who can bat and bowl is all you need in fantasy cricket, and that’s exactly what Michael Ross brings to the side. After picking up a 4-fer, he went on to score 31 vital runs in the chase against Kenya, so he’s surely in my fantasy side. In May this year, he picked another 4-fer against Germany. Talking about wickets, Rakibul Hasan has always been taking wickets and in the last game, he showed he can bat too, putting up 29*.
One of the most experienced players in this side has to be the 38-year old Gareth Berg who has 131 First Class games to his name including playing for counties like Hampshire, Middlesex and others. He’s just flown in after a stint with the Northants and picked 2/35 in the last game. Sri Lankan born middle-order batsman Joy Perera is a sure starter today as he’s captaining this Italian cricket team.
Jersey
Having spent some time playing cricket in England too, Ben Stevens would be one of the first pick in my Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team because he’s a genuine all-rounder with a batting best of 43 and bowling best of 3/20 in his last 10 games for Jersey. Like him, Dominic Blampied is also a brilliant all-rounder pick who hasn’t shone here yet, with just 1 wicket and 28 runs in 2 games in Oman.
With the ball, Julius Sumerauer only had 1 wicket in the last game but he bowled a brilliant spell taking 3 wickets in the opening game, and we expect him to be among the wickets once again. Another brilliant talent with the bat will be Jonty Jenner who has only returned with scores of 30 and 14 so far this tournament. However, he had successive fifties to start off the T20 WC Qualifier in UAE late October this year.
