This is the beauty of cricket, and that’s why expanding the sport is important. For moments like this, people want the number of countries participating in the T20 format to increase at every edition of the T20 World Cup. In an shocking result, Nigeria’s under-19 women’s team has managed to beat New Zealand by 2 runs.
Nigeria beat New Zealand at Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup
Playing at the Sarawak Cricket Ground in Malaysia, they have beaten a country whose senior sides have won two ICC titles this decade. At the Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, Nigeria has somehow eked out an astounding 2-run victory.
Just the second edition of the Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, Nigeria, who weren’t part of the competition two years ago, have taken out the team that made the semifinals last time and whose senior women had lifted the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 title just three months ago.
Talking about the match, in a rain-hit affair, New Zealand chose to bowl first. Nigeria was restricted to just 65/6 after 13 overs by the White Ferns. Considering how large the gulf is between the two cricketing nations, one would think that it’ll be a walk in the park for the Kiwis. It was anything but. Despite just 6 wickets falling for New Zealand as well, they couldn’t chase down 66.
The Nigerian bowlers took three wickets, and the other three came about due to run-outs. Of course, the underdogs could care less. All that mattered was they held New Zealand, and that they did. For her 18 (22) and 1/8, Nigerian captain Lucky Piety was adjudged the ‘Player of the Match.’
