Opening the innings, Selim Salau and Sulaimon Runsewe made contributions of 27 off 18 balls and 23 off 38 balls, respectively, helping Nigeria score 133/9 in their allotted 20 overs.


In their chase, Uganda scored 87/5 in 9.4 overs, with a rain delay, leading the game to be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.


This ensured a five-wicket victory for the East Africans.


Meanwhile, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has formally adopted the DLS method to decide games.


It is a formula to fairly calculate the score of the winning side when inclement weather intervenes and the match is interrupted.


This includes re-calculating totals when time is lost during the match.


Nigeria had earlier defeated hosts Rwanda and Botswana.
