Nigeria and Nigeria A made winning starts to the 2026 Nigeria T20 Quadrangular Series, defeating Ghana and Sierra Leone respectively on the opening day of the six-day tournament at the Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval in Lagos.

The tournament features two Nigerian sides alongside Ghana and Sierra Leone, with all four teams competing for honours in the T20 format.

Nigeria A began their campaign on a positive note with a convincing 33-run victory over Sierra Leone after a disciplined all-round display.

Batting first, Nigeria A posted 113 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs, setting Sierra Leone a target of 114 runs.

Sierra Leone struggled to build momentum during the chase and were eventually bowled out for 80 runs in 19.5 overs, handing Nigeria A a comfortable 33-run victory.

Nigeria also enjoyed a successful opening-day outing, overcoming Ghana by eight wickets.

Ghana managed 91 runs for nine wickets in their 20 overs, but Nigeria’s batting unit made light work of the target, reaching 95 for two in just 13 overs to complete an emphatic eight-wicket win.
