Nigeria Qualifies For 2025 U-19 Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Nigeria has secured a place at the 2025 ICC U-19 Women’s Cricket World Cup in Malaysia, claiming Africa’s sole qualifying spot after their final match against Zimbabwe was abandoned due to rain.
Zimbabwe had made a strong start to the fixture, but persistent rain ultimately forced the game to be called off. With Nigeria remaining unbeaten throughout the qualifying tournament, they were declared the winners, earning a well-deserved ticket to the global stage.
Nigeria will now compete in Group C at the World Cup, facing tough opponents including New Zealand, South Africa, and Samoa. The tournament is scheduled to take place from 18th January to 2nd February 2025.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for Nigerian cricket, with the young team making strides in the international arena. Their qualification for the World Cup is a testament to their hard work and determination, and they will be aiming to make a strong impact in Malaysia.
