Jersey director of cricket Neil MacRae says his side's two wins over Scotland 'A' on Sunday have been great preparation for their T20 World Cup qualifiers.
The islanders head to Cyprus next month for the first round of European qualifying for the 2028 T20 World Cup.
The matches were the last of six preparation fixtures for Jersey - they played two historic T20 fixtures at Lord's against the MCC on Thursday and were beaten twice by the Scots on Saturday in two T20 matches.
In their opening game at Grainville, Zak Tribe hit an impressive 71 not out, including two sixes and two fours in his final four balls, to guide the islanders to a dramatic five-wicket win.
Tribe, the brother of Glamorgan and Jersey star Asa, took 3-31 as Scotland ended on 192-6 before his 42-ball knock helped Jersey reach 196-5 in reply in the final over as he and Julius Sumerauer (46) put on a crucial 75-run fifth-wicket stand.
Jersey had their best win of the weekend in their final game as they crushed the Scots by 134 runs.
Harrison Carlyon's 46-ball knock of 96, which included seven sixes, laid the foundation for the win as he and fellow opener Charlie Brennan (83) had a 183-run opening stand.
Jonty Jenner hit 46 not out and Tribe scored 40 as Jersey made 261-3 off their 20 overs.
In reply, Carlyon took 4-21 as Jersey bowled out the Scots for just 127 in 15.3 overs.
