Nigeria's U-19 Women’s Team Qualifies for World Cup Again
Nigeria’s Junior Female Yellow Greens have qualified for the ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup for the second consecutive time after defeating Zimbabwe by four runs in Tanzania on Saturday. Nigeria won the toss and chose to bat, scoring 98 runs for six wickets in their 20 overs.
Zimbabwe was bowled out for 94 runs with one delivery remaining in their innings, allowing Nigeria to secure victory. This win guarantees Nigeria's participation alongside South Africa as Africa's representatives at the 2027 ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Nepal and Bangladesh.
The Junior Female Yellow Greens had previously made their debut at the tournament in 2025 after defeating Zimbabwe in the African qualifier and finished sixth in the 2025 World Cup held in Malaysia.
