Sarah Bhakita, head coach of Nigeria’s under-19 women’s cricket team, has attributed the team’s success at the African Women’s World Cup Qualifiers to hard work and tenacity.
Nigeria edged seven other teams to secure the lone slot in the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Under 19 Women’s World Cup in Malaysia 2025.
Nigeria finished the qualifiers hosted in Rwanda unbeaten, but the finals against Zimbabwe on Sunday, which was the tournament’s decider, was washed out because of heavy rain.
