Live: Final Super Six day at U19WC 2025
Nigeria v Ireland
Despite a slow start, Nigeria have posted a tricky total of 94 in the early fixture after Niamh MacNulty won the toss and elected to bowl.
Losing key batter Victory Igbinedion in the first over and in the lurch at 18/3 inside five overs, Christabel Chukwuonye (25) led the rebuild with contributions from Omosigho Eguakun (17) and late flurries from Peculiar Agboya and Lilian Ude.
Kia McCartney was the pick of Ireland's bowlers, finishing with 2/13 from four overs.
As Nigeria aim for a third-place spot in Group 2 with victory, Ireland have the opportunity in their final outing to leapfrog New Zealand, and finish the tournament off the bottom spot.
