Lagos:

In a remarkable match in the ICC International T20 World Cup Qualifier, Nigeria defeated Ivory Coast by a massive 264 runs in the Sub-Regional Africa Qualifier. The match, which took place in Lagos, saw Nigeria win the toss and choose to bat first.

Nigeria posted a daunting total of 271 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in their allotted 20 overs, with Saliem standing out by scoring an impressive 112 runs.

However, the match turned into a historic spectacle when Ivory Coast's batting line-up collapsed spectacularly, setting a new T20I record for the lowest score. Ivory Coast’s entire team was bowled out for just 7 runs in the eighth over. Remarkably, seven of their batsmen failed to score a single run. This unprecedented collapse marked one of the most extraordinary moments in T20I history.
