The Nigeria Women’s Cricket Team have emerged champions of the Patricia Kambarami Cup, defeating Rwanda by nine runs in a tense final.
The Yellow Greens held their nerve to defend a modest total, with disciplined bowling and sharp fielding sealing the victory.
Nigeria posted a competitive score after winning the toss, then restricted Rwanda’s chase through consistent pressure in the middle overs. The nine‑run margin shows the team’s resilience under pressure.
The tournament, hosted in the region, featured several African nations. Nigeria’s triumph is a good step for women’s cricket in the country, which has invested heavily in developing the sport in recent years.
Victory in the Patricia Kambarami Cup adds to the growing list of achievements for Nigerian cricket, following the men’s team qualification for the ICC T20 World Cup in previous cycles.
