The Nigeria’s ladies shocked the entire cricket world yesterday’s morning with a two-run win over tested cricket playing nation, New Zealand.

The game which was seen by many as the battle of underdogs against giants was delayed for about two hours due to heavy downpour before the Nigerian girls shocked one of the tournament’s top favourites.
Reacting to the team’s performance, Olopade, in a statement signed by his special assistant on media, Kola Daniel, described the win as a famous one that will go down in the history books as one of the sport’s biggest upsets.

” I am very excited for our U19 cricket team and this particular win is worthy of celebration for so many reasons.

The girls showed resilience which is the true Nigerian spirit and patriotism to upset cricket giant Iike New Zealand.
