Nigeria conclude Namibia T20I Tri-Series with defeat to hosts

Posted : 24 June 2026

 

Nigeria’s men’s cricket team wrapped up their campaign at the T20I Tri-Series in Windhoek with a 93-run defeat to hosts Namibia on Tuesday at the Namibia Cricket Ground.

The Yellow Greens found themselves up against a dominant Namibian batting performance, with the hosts piling up an imposing 220 for five from their allotted 20 overs.

In reply, Nigeria struggled to keep pace with the required run rate as Namibia’s disciplined bowling attack restricted the visitors to 127 for nine in their 20 overs.

The result completed a difficult outing for Nigeria against the hosts, having also lost their earlier meeting by 90 runs during the tournament.

Despite the defeats, the tri-series provided the Nigerian side with valuable international exposure against higher-ranked opposition, including Namibia and Hong Kong China.

The competition also enabled the coaching crew to assess player performances, test combinations, and identify areas requiring improvement ahead of future international assignments.

Captain Sulaimon Runsewe and his teammates are expected to build on the experience gained from the tour as they continue preparations for forthcoming regional and global competitions.

The T20I Tri-Series featured hosts Namibia, Nigeria, and Hong Kong China as part of the participating teams’ build-up to upcoming international engagements.

The tournament has provided the Yellow Greens with crucial lessons and exposure necessary for growth on the international stage. Facing top-tier associates highlights the tactical adjustments needed as the team refines its gameplay. The lessons learned in Windhoek will serve as a vital foundation for Nigeria's technical preparation ahead of future continental qualifiers.
