? Isle of Man 182-7

Luke Ward had a fantastic cameo of 18 from 11 balls at the end to push the team onto 182.
? Turkey 101-9
The Turkey opening batters started aggressively in the power play scoring 40 off the first 5 overs. A double wicket maiden from Joe Burrows in over 5 and Matt Ansell 1-12 really pulled the innings back in the IoM’s favor. Joe Burrows finished with an excellent 3-10, with Kieran Cawte, George Burrows and Ollie Webster the other wicket takers.
?Player of the Match was Joe Burrows for his excellent 3-10 including a double wicket maiden.
