Debutants Nigeria Register Historic Win Over New Zealand In Women's U19 T20 World Cup
Debutants Nigeria scripted the unimaginable as they stunned a formidable New Zealand by two runs for a historic win in a rain-interrupted low-scoring thriller of the ICC Women's U-19 T20 World Cup in which both sides were restricted for under-70 totals in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. Nigeria scored 65-6 batting first, before producing an energetic display on the field derailed New Zealand's run chase. The Kiwis were 57-5, needing nine runs with one over to go in the 13-over contest. However, tight bowling from pacer Lilian Udeh got them over the line with the Kiwis falling short by just two runs.
