Nigeria U19 Women Cricket Team pulled off a dramatic win over South Africa U19 Women Cricket Team in a Super Over finish at the TBS Cricket Oval in Lagos.
After both sides ended regulation play tied at 133, Nigeria held their nerve in the decider, winning by just one run.
South Africa set the target earlier in the match, finishing on 133/7, thanks largely to a strong innings from captain Mieke van Voorst, who scored 69.
Nigeria’s response was driven by captain Lucky Piety, who delivered an outstanding unbeaten 66 off 35 balls, guiding the hosts to 133/3 and forcing the Super Over.
In the decider, Nigeria posted 10/0, before restricting South Africa to 9/1 to seal the victory.
The result sets up another meeting between the two sides in the semifinal on March 27, following their strong performances in the group stage.
