Nigeria’s female U-19 cricket team, the Junior Female Yellow Greens, have progressed into the Super 6 stage of the 2025 ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in Malaysia.
The Junior Female Yellow Greens ended their group campaign with a 41-run defeat against South Africa yesterday. However, their historic two runs win over New Zealand on Monday, as well as the share of points against Samoa was more than enough to see them through as the second-best team in Group C.
Nigeria will now face England on Saturday in the first Super Six clash before meeting Ireland nextWednesday.
The Nigerian side will need all the points and runs in the next round to consolidate their group stage efforts as they hope to reach the semi-finals.
