Nigeria’s Junior YellowGreens Focused on Rwanda After Dominant Win against Ghana
After putting behind their opening day defeat by Ugandaq, Nigeria’s Junior YellowGreens yesterday bounced back with a commanding five-wicket victory over Ghana at the Gahanga Oval, reigniting their bid for a place at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Now, the Nigerian junior cricketers are focused on tournament hosts Rwanda on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 before also clashing with Mozambique.
Their final game against Sierra Leone has been described as another significant test of their qualification credentials.
Yesterday, the Junior YellowGreens restricted Ghana to just 93 all out before completing the chase with more than 27 overs to spare. Nigeria delivered their most complete performance of the tournament so far — a result built on disciplined bowling, sharp fielding, and a composed run chase.
