Nigeria, Feb. 29 -- Nigeria defeated arch-rivals Rwanda in their third game at the T-20i Cricket tournament at the Oval in Tafawa Balewa Square on Wednesday afternoon.

After losing to Tanzania in their second match, the Nigerian team had only one option to advance: they had to defeat the Rwandans.

But going into Wednesday's encounter, the Rwandans had recorded two consecutive victories.

Eventually, the game went in favour of Nigeria, who recorded a win by four wickets over Rwanda, with Sola Adekunle, a spinner, dismissing four Rwandan batsmen in 12 overs.

Captain Blessing Etim, who also claimed a wicket, described the victory as the product of the team's joint effort while narrating the accomplishments of the Nigerian squad.
