Nigeria A have claimed the inaugural Nigeria Cricket Federation Quadrangular Series title after producing a dominant performance against Ghana in the decisive encounter.
Ghana struggled to make an impact with the bat, managing only 60 runs before losing all their wickets in 15.5 overs. Jayant Gautam top-scored for the visitors with 21 runs.
Nigeria’s bowlers kept the pressure on throughout the innings, with Kareem Gafar taking three wickets and Sylvester Okpe adding two. Ndubududem David, Mustapha Yusuf and skipper Taiwo Mohammed also took a wicket each.
The hosts made light work of the chase, reaching 61 for three in just eight overs. Bright Nyong was instrumental in the successful pursuit, smashing an unbeaten 38 from 17 balls, including four sixes and a boundary.
The victory completed an impressive run for Nigeria A, who won five of their six matches in the competition. Their only defeat came against Nigeria’s senior side, the Yellow Greens.
The tournament provides valuable preparation for Nigeria ahead of the T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional C Qualifier, which will take place in Abuja from October 18 to 25.
