Guernsey lost by four wickets in their second match despite Zak Damarell hitting 40 off 24 balls while Stokes scored 38 and then took three wickets for 42 runs. The islanders are preparing for August’s European qualifiers for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Guernsey’s batters impressed in their second innings as all of the top seven hit double figures. Stokes and Damarell put on 82 for the fourth wicket before the former was caught on 38 off just 20 balls after hitting three sixes and two fours. Damarell went with the next ball to leave Guernsey on 158-5 but they went on to make 197-9 off their 20 overs.

Belgium kept up with the run rate but were reduced to 85-3 off 6.5 overs before Niaz and Butt added 41 for the next wicket. Niaz was caught by Damerell off Stokes to leave Belgium on 125-4 early in the 12th over before Stokes struck twice more to reduce them to 148-6 with five overs left. However, the hosts did enough to reach their target with just four balls to spare as they made 200-6 with Sunny Mohammad Sheraz (33no) and Khalid Ahmadi (16no) putting on an unbeaten 52-run stand.
