IoM beaten in Division Two opener

Germany win by 100 runs

The Isle of Man side has lost its opening match in the ICC Europe Division Two this morning.

They were facing a Germany XI in Sweden in the first of five T20 matches over the next four days.

Manx captain Phil Littlejohns won the toss and put the Germans into bat.

Arne Van den Berg was the pick of the Island's bowlers with figures of 3-32 as the Germans set a target of 167 to win.

It was a disastrous reply, however, as the Manx XI crumbled.

They were all out for just 66 in 16 overs.
