Neither the ball went, nor the bat said, African country team limited to 7 runs, T20 match became a 5 -minute spectacle
T-20 Match: There are some matches on the cricket field that leave their different mark in the record book. This time, fans were also surprised to see what happened in an international T20 match. One team first erected a mountain of runs in 20 overs, then the batting of the other team was scattered so much that the trust was also broken. Neither the ball went, nor the bat said, wickets were seen on the scoreboard.
Actually, this T-20 match was played on 24 November 2024 between Nigeria and Ivory Coast in Abuja’s Nigeria Cricket Federation Oval 1. The match was the fifth match of the ICC Men T20 World Cup Sub-Regional Africa Qualifier Group C.
But the way this match ended, it was completely shocking. The unilateral dominance of a team was so tremendous that the opposition did not even have an answer. This made this match historic in the list of the most unilateral T20 matches.
271 runs in 20 oversBreak of three batsmen
Batting first in this match, a team scored a huge score of 271 runs for 4 wickets in just 20 overs. On behalf of the team, Selim Salau played a century of 112 runs in a rampage.
Suleman Runsway played a useful innings of 50 runs with him. At the same time, captain Ishaq Okpe, scoring 65 runs, further strengthened the innings. The half -century innings of both put the opposition team under pressure from the beginning.
Only 7 runs in response8 batsmen out at zero
Chasing the target, the team of Ivory Coast was such that the entire innings was reduced to 7 runs in just 7.3 overs. The batting order collapsed completely. Ouatara Mohammad scored the highest 4 runs while three batsmen contributed 1–1 runs.
Surprisingly, 8 batsmen could not even open the account. The end of the match was extremely unilateral, Nigeria won the match by 264 runs, which is the record of winning the third biggest run in T20I cricket history.
