Nigeria’s Junior Yellow Greens will be aiming to build on their five-wicket victory over Ghana when they face hosts Rwanda on Wednesday in their next game of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Africa Division 2 Qualifier.
The Junior Yellow Greens revived their qualification campaign with a commanding win over Ghana at the Gahanga Oval on Monday, but captain Ali Rahmon says the team must improve its batting performance against Rwanda after losing too many wickets in the chase.
Nigeria restricted Ghana to 93 all out in 39.5 overs before reaching 96/5 in 22.2 overs to secure a five-wicket victory.
Keneth Boniface was the standout performer, claiming 4/33 from eight overs before finishing unbeaten on 30 off 32 balls, with four fours and a six. He was named Player of the Match for his all-round contribution.
Rahmon said the team’s bowling effort was encouraging but admitted there was still work to do with the bat ahead of the Rwanda encounter. Related News Mikel trolls Arsenal over Vinicius signing C’wealth Games gold medallist returns to McDonald’s job NPFL player Ozor in ICU after reported death
