Nigeria clinches six-wicket victory over Sierra Leone as Women’s T20i tournament begins

Nigeria began the competition with a six-wicket triumph against Sierra Leone in the third NCF Women’s T20i Invitational at the Tafawa Balewa Cricket Oval in Lagos while reigning champions Rwanda defeated Ghana by 117 runs.

Nigeria won the toss and opted to field, which sent the Sierra Leonean team to bat first, where they managed 69/5 in 19 overs.

Although the target seemed achievable for Nigeria, they faced early pressure during the power play, losing four wickets.
