Ghana vs Sierra Leone: match preview on 25 September 2026

Sierra Leone to edge a tight contest

Sierra Leone are favourites to beat Ghana on 25 September despite both sides having struggled in recent weeks. Ghana have lost all three of their Quadrangular Twenty20 Series matches and sit bottom of the table with zero points.

Sierra Leone occupy third place with 3 points from two matches, having won one and lost one. Ghana are in fourth with 0 points from three matches, having lost every outing.

Recent form is mixed for both teams. Ghana's last five matches show two wins and three losses, but the most recent three results are all defeats — against Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria A. Sierra Leone have won just one of their last five matches overall, but that victory came against Ghana in the tournament, and their other losses have been by comfortable margins against Nigeria A, Botswana, Rwanda, and Uganda.

The head-to-head record over the past three years shows Ghana leading 4 wins to 2, but the most recent encounter was decided by a single run. The other matches in this series have also been tight contests, with several decided by margins of 1 to 5 runs.

Sierra Leone's win is conditional on them maintaining the same level of intensity they showed in the 86-85 victory. If Ghana can find the extra runs they have been missing — particularly in the middle overs where they have struggled — the result could go either way.

No team news regarding injuries or suspensions has been confirmed for either side, so both are expected to field their strongest available players. The match will be played in Nigeria, which gives neither side a home advantage, though Ghana have lost all three of their tournament fixtures regardless of venue.
