Nigeria beat Ghana by 91 runs in a Twenty20 match at the Quadrangular series in Nigeria on 26 September 2026. The final score was 146 for 55, a result that leaves the hosts in second place with seven points from four games. Ghana remain winless at the bottom of the table after five defeats.
The visitors have yet to find a way through, sitting fourth on zero points. This defeat extends their run of losses to five consecutive matches without a single victory. The gap between the sides was clear from the opening stages.
Nigeria's recent form has been mixed but they have shown resilience. Their last outing ended in a loss to Nigeria A, while earlier this month they edged Ghana by four runs in a tighter contest. The team has been building momentum despite occasional setbacks.
Ghana's struggles are stark when looking at their recent results. They lost to Nigeria A on 23 September, then suffered back-to-back defeats to Sierra Leone on 25 September. Each match has been decided by narrow margins, but this time the difference was substantial.
The result keeps Nigeria in contention for a top-four finish while Ghana face a difficult path back into the competition. Nine points separate the two sides in the standings, and the hosts will be looking to extend their winning record.
