Yellow Greens Of Nigeria Begins West Africa Trophy With Hard-Fought Win Over Zambia
Nigeria's cricket team, the Yellow Greens, secured a 19-run victory against Zambia in their opening West Africa Trophy match in Abuja. After Zambia chose to bowl, Nigeria initially struggled, but Isaac Okpe's unbeaten 35 off 19 balls propelled them to a total of 138 for 8. Zambia's chase was anchored by Zoyeb Chand's 47, but Prosper Useni's impressive bowling spell, claiming four wickets, dismantled their batting lineup. Zambia were eventually bowled out for 119 in 19 overs. Nigeria will now face Sierra Leone, aiming to capitalize on this win and strengthen their position in the tournament.
