Nigeria reclaimed a point in the T20 Quadrangular Series after defeating Nigeria A by two wickets, according to the PUNCH. The match, held at the TBS Cricket Oval in Lagos, saw Nigeria chase down 113 runs for victory in 19.1 overs, finishing with five balls to spare. This win reverses their earlier defeat to Nigeria A, which ended with a 19-run loss.
Earlier in the tournament, Nigeria A had been limited to 112 runs in their 20 overs. The result narrows the gap between the two sides to just one point, with two matches remaining for each team in the series. Nigeria A currently leads the standings with three wins from three games, while Nigeria and Sierra Leone have three points each heading into the round.
Ghana remains without a point. The participating teams include national team players and emerging prospects, with Nigeria using the Quadrangular Series to prepare for the 2028 T20 World Cup qualifiers. Nigeria's high-performance manager Stephen Mangongo, who replaced Steve Tikolo, has been in charge of the national team in camp.
