Nigeria A Win Inaugural NCF Quadrangular T20 Series After Ghana Victory


By Simpson Global Media News Desk

Nigeria A have won the inaugural Nigeria Cricket Federation Quadrangular T20 Series after defeating Ghana by seven wickets in a rain-affected final league fixture at the Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval in Lagos, completing an unbeaten-or-near-perfect campaign that underlined the depth available beneath Nigeria’s senior national cricket team.

The second-string Nigerian side entered the final day at the top of the standings and secured the tournament after restricting Ghana to 60 all out in 15.5 overs before reaching 61 for three in eight overs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. Gafar Kareem was named Player of the Match after taking three wickets for eight runs.

The result completed a week-long competition involving Nigeria, Nigeria A, Ghana and Sierra Leone at the TBS Cricket Oval in Lagos.

Nigeria A had entered the tournament as the country’s second-string side, giving selectors and coaches an opportunity to assess players outside the established senior national squad while maintaining a competitive structure alongside the Yellow Greens.

The tournament was the first edition of the Nigeria Cricket Federation’s Quadrangular T20 competition and was staged from September 21 to September 27. The four participating sides were scheduled to meet twice in a round-robin format, with the team accumulating the most points taking the title.

For Nigeria cricket, the significance extends beyond the final score.

The competition provided seven days of high-level match exposure in Lagos, tested a wider group of players against international opposition and gave Nigeria’s cricket authorities an additional platform for developing a deeper national selection pool.

It also placed the country’s domestic cricket calendar in an international setting, with Ghana and Sierra Leone joining the two Nigerian sides.

A title secured on the final day

Nigeria A’s route to the title was built over several matches rather than a single decisive performance.

The side opened the competition on September 21 by defeating Sierra Leone by 33 runs.

After being sent in to bat, Nigeria A scored 113 for eight in their 20 overs. Olayinka Olaleye top-scored with 25 from 32 balls, while captain Mohammed Taiwo provided late acceleration with an unbeaten 28 from 20 deliveries.

Sierra Leone were subsequently bowled out for 80 in 19.5 overs.

Elochukwu Ndubudem took three wickets for 10 runs from four overs, while Mustapha Yussuf also claimed three wickets. Gafar Kareem added two wickets as Nigeria A completed a 33-run victory.

The opening victory immediately established Nigeria A as a serious contender in the new tournament.

The following day brought an all-Nigerian encounter against the senior Yellow Greens.

Nigeria A won that contest by 19 runs, posting 139 for eight and restricting the national side to 120 for seven.

That result gave the second-string team an important early advantage over the country’s senior side and demonstrated that the tournament was not simply an exercise in development without competitive consequences.

The Nigeria A players were competing for points, positions and future opportunities.

The senior side, meanwhile, was using the tournament as part of its preparation for future international assignments.

Three wins in three

Nigeria A then defeated Ghana by eight wickets on the third day of the competition.

Ghana were bowled out for 65 in 17.3 overs.

Nigeria A chased the target successfully, reaching 66 for two in 11.5 overs.

The result gave Nigeria A three wins from three matches and six points at that stage.

The Nigeria Cricket Federation reported that Nigeria A were at the top of the standings, while Nigeria and Sierra Leone were level behind them and Ghana remained without a point.

The victory over Ghana also demonstrated a recurring feature of the tournament: Nigeria A were able to win matches in different ways.

Against Sierra Leone, the side defended a modest total through disciplined bowling.

Against the senior Nigerian team, the side posted a larger total and survived a strong chase.

Against Ghana, the bowlers created the platform before the batters completed a relatively straightforward pursuit.

That variety became important as the competition progressed.

The senior side strikes back

Nigeria A’s perfect start was interrupted when the senior national team defeated them by two wickets on September 25.

Nigeria A made 112 all out in 19.2 overs.

Elijah Saturday Jimmy provided the main batting contribution with 51 from 35 balls, including eight fours and a six.

The senior team, however, eventually reached 113 for eight in 19.1 overs.

Isaac Okpe produced the decisive innings, finishing unbeaten on 36 from 21 balls, including three sixes.

The result narrowed the gap at the top of the standings.

It also provided a useful competitive test for both Nigerian sides.

For Nigeria A, the defeat showed that their early success did not guarantee the title.

For the senior side, the victory demonstrated its ability to recover from the earlier loss and remain in contention.

The tournament consequently entered its final phase with Nigeria A still holding the advantage but with the national team close behind.

Taiwo’s four-wicket performance

Nigeria A responded strongly against Sierra Leone on September 26.

The second-string side restricted Sierra Leone to 67 all out in 16.3 overs.

Mohameed Taiwo delivered one of the outstanding bowling performances of the tournament, taking four wickets for 11 runs from four overs.

His spell helped Nigeria A seize control early.

Sierra Leone struggled to establish partnerships, while Nigeria A’s bowlers maintained pressure throughout the innings.

Elijah Jimmy then made 39 not out from 21 balls and Sesan Adedeji scored 25 not out from 18 deliveries as Nigeria A reached 70 for one in seven overs.

The nine-wicket victory, achieved with 78 balls remaining, strengthened Nigeria A’s position at the top of the table.

By the end of that day, Nigeria A had accumulated eight points from five matches, according to tournament reporting, while Nigeria had seven points and Sierra Leone five.

The final day would therefore determine the championship.

Final-day pressure

Nigeria A went into the final match knowing that a victory over Ghana would preserve their position at the summit.

Ghana, meanwhile, were looking for their first points of the tournament.

The match was played at the TBS Cricket Oval on September 27.

Ghana won the toss and elected to bat.

The decision did not produce the desired result.

Nigeria A’s bowlers reduced Ghana to 60 all out in 15.5 overs.

Gafar Kareem led the attack, returning figures of three wickets for eight runs.

Sylvester Okpe also made a significant contribution with two wickets for nine runs.

Ghana’s innings never developed into a sustained partnership.

Jayant Gautam was the leading scorer with 21 from 24 balls, while Joseph Theodore made 12 from 24.

The rest of the batting order struggled to produce enough runs to establish a competitive total.

Nigeria A were therefore set a revised target after the rain interruption.

They reached 61 for three in eight overs to win by seven wickets under the DLS method.

The result confirmed their position at the top of the competition.

Kareem’s contribution

Kareem’s performance was central to the final-day victory.

His three-wicket haul came at an important stage of the Ghana innings and prevented the opposition from establishing a larger total.

He had already played an important role during the tournament.

In the opening match against Sierra Leone, Kareem contributed with the ball as Nigeria A defended 113.

He was also among the bowlers who helped Nigeria A maintain pressure during the competition’s earlier matches.

His final-day figures of three for eight provided the decisive bowling performance in the match that secured the title.

The Player of the Match award therefore recognised a contribution that was both economical and influential.

Bright Edem provides the acceleration

The chase against Ghana also contained an important batting contribution from Bright Edem.

Edem scored 38 from 17 balls before being dismissed.

His innings included aggressive stroke play that accelerated Nigeria A’s chase and helped the side reach the revised target within eight overs.

Elijah Jimmy had earlier made 10 from 10 balls.

Daniel Ajekun finished unbeaten on six, while Olayinka Olaleye was unbeaten on two when the winning target was reached.

The short chase meant that Nigeria A did not need to expose its lower order to a difficult situation.

Once the target was reduced by the weather, the batters maintained a sufficiently high scoring rate to finish the contest without further complications.

What the tournament represented

The NCF Quadrangular T20 Series was conceived as more than a short competition.

It formed part of an effort by the Nigeria Cricket Federation to deepen the country’s cricket calendar and provide additional competitive opportunities.

The tournament featured four teams but only three countries because Nigeria entered two sides.

That structure created an unusual but useful environment.

Nigeria’s senior team could play international opposition while Nigeria A could simultaneously gain experience against teams from other African cricket nations.

It also allowed selectors and coaching staff to observe players outside the established national squad under tournament pressure.

The arrangement provided opportunities for younger and emerging players to demonstrate their ability in conditions that more closely resemble international competition than ordinary domestic fixtures.

A second team with a purpose

Nigeria A’s participation was particularly important because a second-string team is useful only when it is exposed to meaningful competition.

A purely developmental side can train extensively but may not encounter the pressure that comes with defending a total, chasing a target or competing for tournament points.

The quadrangular format provided those situations.

Nigeria A faced the senior national team.

They faced Sierra Leone.

They faced Ghana twice.

They also had to manage the effects of rain, changing match conditions and the tactical demands of T20 cricket.

The results therefore provide the coaching staff with a body of competitive evidence that can be considered when selecting future national squads.

A platform for selectors

Selection in international sport depends increasingly on more than reputation.

Players need opportunities to demonstrate form.

The Nigeria A campaign gave several cricketers such opportunities.

Elijah Jimmy produced important runs, including a 51 against the senior Nigerian side and 39 not out against Sierra Leone.

Mohameed Taiwo contributed both as captain and bowler and delivered a four-wicket spell against Sierra Leone.

Gafar Kareem provided consistent contributions with the ball and finished the tournament with the Player of the Match award in the title-clinching game.

Elochukwu Ndubudem also produced strong bowling performances, including three for 10 in the opening victory against Sierra Leone.

These performances do not automatically determine future senior-team selection.

Selection remains the responsibility of the relevant technical and administrative structures.

But they give selectors recent competitive evidence when assessing players.

A demanding T20 format

T20 cricket leaves little room for prolonged recovery after a poor start.

A team has only 20 overs with the bat.

Bowlers must work within short spells.

Fielding errors can quickly change a match.

A six or a sequence of boundaries can alter the required run rate within minutes.

That makes the format particularly useful for testing decision-making and adaptability.

Nigeria A demonstrated both sides of that equation during the tournament.

They suffered a narrow defeat against the senior team after previously winning three consecutive matches.

They then responded by defeating Sierra Leone by nine wickets before closing out the competition against Ghana.

The sequence showed that the players could recover from a setback rather than allowing one defeat to determine the remainder of the campaign.

TBS Cricket Oval

The entire tournament was played at the Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval in Lagos.

The venue became the centre of Nigerian cricket for the week.

The TBS Oval hosted the opening matches, the all-Nigerian encounters and the final-day games.

Playing a full round-robin tournament at one venue also created consistent conditions for the competing teams.

Players could become familiar with the pitch and surroundings as the competition progressed.

At the same time, weather remained a factor.

A match between Nigeria and Sierra Leone was abandoned because of rain, with the teams sharing the points.

The rain-affected fixture demonstrated the importance of tournament rules governing no-results and points allocation.

The impact of the rain interruption

The abandoned Nigeria-Sierra Leone game influenced the points table.

Instead of either side receiving the full reward for a victory, both received a point.

That kept Sierra Leone within reach of the leading teams and prevented Nigeria from gaining the maximum available points from the fixture.

By the time the competition entered its decisive phase, Nigeria A had built a meaningful advantage.

The side’s early victories meant that it could absorb its defeat against the senior team and still control its own championship destiny.

That is one of the defining features of a round-robin competition.

Consistency over multiple matches becomes more important than one isolated result.

Nigeria’s senior team had another objective

Although Nigeria A won the tournament, the senior national side also had a separate objective.

The Yellow Greens were using the competition to prepare for future international commitments.

Before the tournament began, the Nigeria Cricket Federation said the senior team would use the series as part of its preparation for the 2028 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional C Qualifier scheduled for Abuja from October 18 to 25.

The team was also working under Zimbabwean high-performance manager Stephen Mangongo, who was appointed on a three-year deal in May.

Mangongo replaced Kenyan coach Steve Tikolo, who left the role earlier in 2026 after more than three years with Nigeria.

The quadrangular tournament therefore represented an early competitive assignment under the new high-performance structure.

Mangongo’s wider challenge

For a national coach or high-performance manager, a tournament involving both senior and emerging players provides a useful opportunity to examine the country’s player pool.

The senior side can test established combinations.

The second-string side can reveal alternatives.

Bowlers can be assessed under pressure.

Batters can be tested against different styles of bowling.

Wicketkeepers can gain match experience.

Fielding combinations can be examined.

The value of such a tournament therefore goes beyond the trophy.

Nigeria’s cricket programme needs a continuous pipeline through which players can progress from domestic cricket into higher-level competition and, eventually, the senior national team.

The quadrangular competition provided one part of that pathway.

The importance of competition at home

Hosting the series in Lagos also matters for Nigerian cricket infrastructure.

International and regional competitions held inside the country give players the opportunity to compete before a home audience and allow local officials to manage the logistical demands of hosting cricket.

They can also expose domestic administrators to the requirements associated with international-standard competitions.

A stronger domestic calendar can create more opportunities for players to remain active between international assignments.

That matters because national-team preparation cannot depend solely on occasional international fixtures.

Regular competitive cricket helps players maintain form and match fitness.

The four-team model

The decision to include four teams created a compact competition with repeated meetings.

Nigeria entered two sides, while Ghana and Sierra Leone provided the external opposition.

The round-robin structure meant teams had multiple opportunities to respond to earlier results.

For Nigeria A, this was particularly useful.

Their first three victories created momentum.

The defeat against Nigeria tested their response.

The victory over Sierra Leone restored their advantage.

The final win over Ghana completed the campaign.

That sequence gave the players experience in different tournament situations.

Sierra Leone’s role

Sierra Leone also played an important role in the competition.

The side defeated Ghana on the second day and shared points with Nigeria after their rain-affected match.

They subsequently lost to Nigeria A.

Their participation ensured that Nigeria’s two sides were not competing only against each other and Ghana.

Sierra Leone brought another West African cricket environment into the tournament and contributed to the competitive balance.

The team’s six-wicket victory over Ghana on September 23 showed that the tournament was not simply a contest dominated by the two Nigerian teams.

Sierra Leone chased Ghana’s 85 for eight and reached 86 for four in 18.1 overs.

Ghana’s difficult campaign

Ghana finished the competition without a victory.

The team nevertheless provided important opposition for both Nigerian sides and Sierra Leone.

Their struggles were particularly visible in the final match against Nigeria A, when they were bowled out for 60.

Earlier in the tournament, however, Ghana produced individual batting performances that demonstrated their capacity to compete.

Jayant Gautam made 42 against Sierra Leone on the second day and 21 in the final match against Nigeria A.

Joseph Theodore also made useful contributions during the competition.

The results did not produce a winning campaign for Ghana, but the team’s presence contributed to the tournament’s competitive structure.

Development through pressure

One of the clearest lessons from Nigeria A’s title is that player development does not have to be separated from competitive ambition.

The players were developing while also trying to win.

That distinction matters.

If emerging players are placed only in low-pressure fixtures, coaches may not see how they respond when a target is difficult, a wicket is needed or a match must be closed out.

Nigeria A’s campaign supplied those moments.

Against the senior side, the team lost despite posting a competitive total.

Against Sierra Leone, they recovered quickly.

Against Ghana, they handled a rain-affected chase.

The experiences can become part of the players’ development if incorporated into future training and selection decisions.

Bowling strength

Nigeria A’s tournament was marked by several strong bowling performances.

Ndubudem’s three for 10 against Sierra Leone in the opening game immediately showed the side’s ability to defend a total.

Taiwo’s four for 11 against Sierra Leone later in the competition was another standout performance.

Kareem’s three for eight against Ghana then provided the decisive contribution in the title-clinching match.

Sylvester Okpe also delivered important spells, including four wickets for 17 runs against the senior side.

The distribution of wickets suggests that Nigeria A did not rely exclusively on one bowler.

Different players contributed at different stages of the tournament.

That variety is valuable in T20 cricket, where captains need multiple options for powerplay overs, middle overs and the closing stages.

Batting contributions

The batting performances were similarly distributed.

Elijah Jimmy produced the tournament’s most notable individual innings for Nigeria A when he scored 51 from 35 balls against the senior team.

He later scored 39 not out against Sierra Leone.

Olaleye contributed at the top and middle of the order.

Taiwo provided late hitting, including an unbeaten 28 in the opening match.

Bright Edem’s 38 from 17 balls in the final chase against Ghana supplied the acceleration required to complete the revised target.

Such contributions give the coaching staff several options when considering future combinations.

A player does not necessarily need to score the largest number of runs in every match to demonstrate value.

Consistency, strike rate, ability to finish innings and performance under pressure can all form part of the assessment.

What the title means for Nigerian cricket

Nigeria A’s championship provides an immediate result for the NCF’s decision to stage the tournament.

The side was not merely present to fill a slot.

It competed successfully against three opponents and finished at the top of the standings.

The title also provides a reference point for the development of the players involved.

Some may eventually move into the senior Yellow Greens setup.

Others may become leaders within Nigeria’s domestic cricket structure.

The experience of playing repeated competitive matches could prove useful regardless of their eventual career path.

A wider West African cricket network

The tournament also reinforced the role of Lagos as a meeting point for West African cricket.

Ghana and Sierra Leone travelled to Nigeria to compete against the two Nigerian sides.

Such regional competitions provide opportunities for neighbouring cricket nations to play regularly without the logistical demands of larger international tournaments.

They also help players become accustomed to different opponents.

For emerging cricketers, those experiences can be especially valuable.

International development in an associate cricket environment depends heavily on regular competitive opportunities.

From tournament to pathway

The next challenge is converting the success of Nigeria A into a sustainable pathway.

A single tournament cannot by itself guarantee the emergence of future international stars.

Players need continued competitive opportunities.

They need coaching.

They need access to facilities.

They need fitness and strength programmes.

They need match analysis.

And they need opportunities to move to progressively higher levels.

The NCF’s existing programme includes domestic competitions as well as national-team activities.

The quadrangular tournament can become more useful if it is integrated into that wider structure.

What selectors can take from the campaign

Selectors now have recent performances to review.

They can examine bowling spells, batting returns, strike rates, economy rates, fielding contributions and performances in different match situations.

They can also compare emerging players with established senior internationals because Nigeria A faced the national team during the competition.

That direct comparison can be particularly useful.

A player performing well against domestic opposition may still face a different challenge against established national players.

Nigeria A’s match against the senior team provided exactly that test.

Although Nigeria won that encounter, Nigeria A’s earlier victory over the same side remains part of the tournament record.

The senior team’s defeat and response

The two Nigerian sides therefore produced an interesting internal competition.

Nigeria A defeated the senior team by 19 runs on September 23.

The senior side returned the favour two days later, winning by two wickets.

The sequence demonstrated that the gap between established internationals and emerging players was not absolute within the conditions of the tournament.

It also created a competitive environment in which both teams had something to prove.

For the senior team, the defeat highlighted areas requiring improvement.

For Nigeria A, the subsequent loss showed that success against the national side would not automatically translate into tournament dominance.

The final table

The points system and results left Nigeria A at the top when the final round was completed.

The side entered the last day with eight points after five matches.

The senior Nigeria team had seven points.

Sierra Leone had five.

Ghana had none.

Nigeria A’s victory over Ghana gave them the additional points required to finish above the senior national team and secure the inaugural title. The final-day result is recorded as a seven-wicket DLS victory for Nigeria A.

The final standings also reflect the importance of Nigeria A’s early victories.

Had the team failed to capitalise on its opening matches, the senior side’s late surge could have changed the championship picture.

Instead, Nigeria A’s early advantage proved sufficient.

The significance of the inaugural title

Because this was the first edition of the NCF Quadrangular T20 Series, Nigeria A will go into the competition’s history as its inaugural champion.

That gives the tournament a clear starting point.

Future editions, if staged, will have an established benchmark.

The title may also give the players additional confidence as they continue their domestic and national-team careers.

For the NCF, the event provides a model for how a compact regional tournament can combine senior preparation with emerging-player development.

Looking beyond the trophy

The most important question now is what happens to the players after the tournament.

The value of a developmental competition is measured partly by what follows it.

If players return to domestic cricket without further opportunities, the benefits may be limited.

If strong performers receive continued exposure and structured development, the competition can contribute to a deeper national squad.

The NCF and coaching staff will therefore have to decide how the performances feed into subsequent camps, fixtures and selection exercises.

The senior Yellow Greens also have upcoming international responsibilities, making the identification of reliable alternatives especially relevant.

Nigeria’s cricket calendar

Before the quadrangular tournament began, the NCF described it as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s cricket calendar.

The organisation has also been involved in Nigeria’s women’s and junior programmes, including the Junior Female Yellow Greens’ qualification for the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup.

The wider calendar suggests that Nigerian cricket is attempting to create pathways across age groups and teams.

The men’s quadrangular competition adds another layer by giving emerging male players regular competitive exposure.

The road ahead

Nigeria A’s next challenge will be to maintain the standards displayed in Lagos.

The players will return to their clubs and other cricket commitments, while the national selectors and technical team assess performances.

Some players may receive senior opportunities.

Others may continue developing through domestic competition.

The title itself does not guarantee international selection, but it provides a significant recent performance record for those involved.

The senior Yellow Greens will also move on to their own international preparations.

The team’s involvement in the quadrangular series was partly linked to preparation for the 2028 T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional C Qualifier in Abuja.

That competition will demand a different level of pressure, with qualification implications and stronger international scrutiny.

A useful experiment

The structure of the Lagos tournament effectively created two competitions within one.

Nigeria’s senior team used it for preparation.

Nigeria A used it for development and competition.

Ghana and Sierra Leone provided external opposition.

The result was a tournament in which players could be tested across different levels without separating development from serious competition.

That structure could be considered for future editions, subject to the NCF’s planning and the availability of participating teams.

A title earned through consistency

Nigeria A did not win the tournament solely because of the final match.

The championship was built through the accumulation of results.

They defeated Sierra Leone.

They defeated Nigeria.

They defeated Ghana.

They suffered a defeat to Nigeria.

They defeated Sierra Leone again.

Then they returned to beat Ghana in the final fixture.

That sequence demonstrates the value of consistency in a round-robin tournament.

The side recovered from its only defeat and retained enough points to control its position entering the final day.

The final match in perspective

The seven-wicket victory over Ghana may have appeared straightforward in the final scorecard, but its importance was larger.

Ghana had to be dismissed cheaply before Nigeria A could chase.

Kareem and the bowling unit created that opportunity.

Rain then altered the target and introduced the DLS method.

The batting unit adapted quickly.

Edem supplied the attacking momentum.

The team finished the chase with three wickets down.

That combination of bowling, adaptation and batting efficiency delivered the championship.

The wider message

For Nigerian cricket, the title sends a practical message about the value of maintaining a strong second tier.

A national team cannot rely indefinitely on the same group of players.

Injuries, retirements, loss of form, international schedules and other circumstances can change the composition of a squad.

A strong Nigeria A programme can help create alternatives.

It can also make the transition into senior cricket more gradual.

Players who have already experienced competitive regional cricket are likely to be more familiar with the pressures of international-style matches than players entering that environment for the first time.

No substitute for continued development

The championship should nevertheless be viewed as one stage rather than an endpoint.

The players still need regular cricket.

Coaches still need to monitor their progress.

Facilities and training programmes remain important.

The NCF must also continue creating opportunities for domestic players who were not involved in this particular tournament.

A healthy player pathway needs competition at several levels.

What happens next

With the inaugural tournament completed, attention now turns to the next assignments for Nigeria’s players.

The senior Yellow Greens have international preparation ahead, including the 2028 T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional C Qualifier scheduled for Abuja in October.

The technical team will have the opportunity to review performances from the quadrangular tournament and determine which players have made a case for further involvement.

For Nigeria A players, the immediate task will be to maintain form and continue developing within the national cricket structure.

The NCF will also have to assess the tournament itself: its format, scheduling, playing conditions, venue arrangements and the competitive balance between the four teams.

The inaugural edition has now provided a practical template for that assessment.

Nigeria A’s place in the record books

Nigeria A’s seven-wicket victory over Ghana on September 27 secured the first championship of the Nigeria Cricket Federation Quadrangular T20 Series.

The side finished above Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ghana after a week of competition at the TBS Cricket Oval.

Gafar Kareem’s three for eight provided the key bowling performance in the final match, while Bright Edem’s 38 from 17 balls helped drive the revised chase.

The championship also closes a competition that gave Nigeria’s cricket system an opportunity to test a wider group of players in meaningful matches.

For the players, it is a title.

For the selectors, it is a fresh body of evidence.

For the NCF, it is a new competition added to the calendar.

And for Nigerian cricket supporters, it is another indication that the country’s cricket programme is seeking to build depth alongside its senior national teams.

The next measure of the tournament’s value will come not from the trophy ceremony but from what follows.

If the players who performed strongly continue to receive competitive opportunities, the inaugural quadrangular series could become an important part of a longer player-development pathway.

If the competition returns in future editions, Nigeria A will also carry the distinction of being its first champion.

For now, however, the immediate record is settled.

Nigeria A have won the inaugural NCF Quadrangular T20 Series, finishing their campaign with a seven-wicket victory over Ghana in Lagos and giving Nigeria’s emerging cricket players a championship achievement of their own.
