It was three runs fewer than the previous record of 10, set by the Isle of Man against Spain in 2023 and equalled by Mongolia against Singapore in September.
Nigeria won the toss and elected to bat first in the T20 World Cup sub-regional Africa qualifier. They scored a massive total of 271-4 in their 20 overs. Selim Salau smashed 112 from 53 balls before retiring while Isaac Okpe’s 65 not out from 23 balls included six sixes and three fours.
Six of their batsmen were dismissed for ducks while Ladji Ezechiel remained unbeaten on zero.
Nigeria won the match by a massive 264 runs, which is not a record. The biggest T20I win was when Zimbabwe beat Gambia by 290 runs in Nairobi last month.
