Nigeria's Junior Female Yellow Greens continue their journey in the 2025 Cricket World Cup, despite facing a washout against England. Their third-place standing in the Super Six Group 2 keeps them in contention for a semi-final berth, with a crucial match against Ireland looming.
Despite Saturday’s washout against England , Nigeria’s Junior Female Yellow Greens are still in contention for a place in Malaysia’s semi-finals of the 2025 Cricket World Cup . The Junior Female Yellow Greens were billed to begin their Super Six campaign against England at the Borneo Cricket Ground, Sarawak, on Saturday, but the game was abandoned due to a wet playing surface.
As both sides shared a point in the game, Nigeria are now third in the Super Six Group 2 with three points, needing a win against Ireland in their last game on Wednesday to stand a chance of advancing. South Africa leads the Super Six group with six points, followed by England with four points, while Nigeria are third with three points, thanks to a better net run rate than the USA. Before the tournament, the Nigerian team had set a semi-final target for themselves, and their progress into the current stage was no mean feat either. They caused an upset in the tournament’s group stages, beating New Zealand by two runs in their second game.
