Guernsey vs Jersey, 1st T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Weather Forecast

Guernsey are all set to host Jersey for a three-match T20I Series, called the Inter-Insular T20 Series, which has been played since 1950.

This time, a total of three games will be played in the series, with the first game to be held at the College Field in St. Peter Port on May 20. King George V Sports Ground in Castel will host the remaining games.

Guernsey recently featured in the Spain Triangular T20I Series. They won two and lost as many games to finish second. Their last game was against Spain, where they earned a comprehensive win. Josh Butler will be leading the side as they look to kickstart the series on a positive note.

Jersey, on the other hand, are the defending champions of the Inter-Insular Series, having won it by a 3-0 margin in 2019. Jersey’s last assignment came back in October last year when they participated in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Region Qualifier.

Jersey have won their last five games. Charles Perchard has been handed the responsibility of leading the side and will look to start their title defense on a winning note.
