Nigeria: Nigeria recorded her third victory against Sierra Leone on Matchday 7, beating fellow West African rivals by 68 runs at the second West Africa Trophy tournament. The third round of matches commenced at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium on Thursday with a spirited Zambian team enduring a 23-run victory against Rwanda.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Rwanda had defeated Zambia in their first two meetings in the tournament but failed to record a third win against the side. Meanwhile, the second game of the day saw Nigeria win the toss and elect to bat first.
The Patriots were clumsy with the fielding, leaking unnecessary runs as the Nigerian batters capitalised on their errors to score 171/7 in 20 overs.
