Cricket: South-South wins 4th PwC/NCF U17 championship

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 17, 2023

Defending champions, Team South-South has won the fourth edition of the PwC/NCF U17 Cricket Championship.

The South-South male and female team showed sheer dominance in the competition, winning all games and eventually claiming the title to mark the fourth consecutive win for the ladies and the third for the male team.

In the women’s final against South-East, the bowling effort of Faith Okpara was not enough to limit the defending champions as they raced to 133 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs.

Player of the match Lucky Piety who had 49 runs off 36 balls and teammate Peculiar Agboya 30(20) did the job for the South-South zone as they finished the innings on a high note.

In reply, South-East managed to reach 67 runs all out in 17.4 overs as South-South won by 64 runs.

The men’s game began with South South winning the toss and electing to bat against North West.

In the men’s game between South-South and North East, Abraham Oaikena 27 (33) and Godswill Effiong 28(29) did the most for the defending champions as they scored 128 all out in 24 overs.

To win, North West needed to score 129 runs but the likes of Unity Ogbide 3/16 and Effiong’s 5/6 was instrumental to restricting the Northern to 56 runs all out in 21.4 overs as South-South won by 71 runs.

Earlier, South West defeated South East by 17 runs in the men’s event and defeated North West by 7 wickets in the women’s game to claim third place position.
