The Final Act — Unbeaten Nigeria A Host Ghana in the Tournament's Last Match
Nigeria A have been the story of this quadrangular series — the development squad that bowled Ghana out for 65 in the first meeting. Ghana have one last chance to leave Lagos with a positive result.
The Context
Nigeria A's run through this tournament has been remarkable for a development squad. The first meeting with Ghana produced Ghana bowled out for 65, Nigeria A home in twelve overs — Mohameed Taiwo conceding just five runs from three overs with two wickets, Olayinka Olaleye finishing the chase with an unbeaten 31 off 19. They have beaten Sierra Leone, the senior national side, and Ghana without a blemish.
Ghana have found the Lagos conditions unforgiving. The low, slow surface has consistently rewarded bowling discipline, and their batters have struggled to adapt. A competitive performance in the final match would provide evidence of growth over the course of the series.
The Verdict
Nigeria A are strong favourites to finish the tournament unbeaten. Their bowling has been the best in the series, and a clean sweep would be a powerful statement about the depth of Nigerian cricket.
