The Nigeria Cricket national men’s team puts aside their defeat against Kenya to record back-to-back victory against Botswana and West African rivals, Ghana at the ongoing ICC T-20 World Cup qualifiers.
In the Day-2 of the ongoing Africa qualifier in Uganda, team Nigeria recovered from Day-1 setback when they faced Botswana that won the toss and elected to field first thereby sending in Nigeria to bat.
Nigeria played a well-constructed innings in the opening stages but stumbled later in the game with wickets falling at quick successions.
