Nigeria restricted to 153 runs by Kuwait - ICC World Cricket League Division Seven
Nigeria posted 153 runs for the loss of nine wickets against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Botswana-c2857.
Kuwait won the toss and put Nigeria in to bat and got instant rewards when they got the first wicket at one runs when Ramit Gill was bowled by Mohammad Murad for a duck. Ademola Onikoyi and Segan Olayinka shared 25 runs partnership for the second wicket
when Olayinka was gone after scoring eight runs.
Onikoyi was the third batsman to go back after scoring 20 runs and that wicket fell at 30 runs. The fourth wicket partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Endurance-Ofem-c56012 and Sean Philips contributed 14 runs and the wicket fell at 44 runs as the fifth wicket added 21 runs when
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Olajide-Bejide-c80157 lost his wicket after scoring nine runs.
Sean Philips held one end and demonstrated a responsible innings. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Olalekan-Awolowo-c80158 assisted him well, nursing the other end. They shared 26 runs between themselves as the sixth batsman Awolowo was sent back at his personal score of just four runs manufactured
in 32 balls.
Kunle Adegbola joined in with Philips, who was the only batsman staying against the hostile bowling of Kuwait. Philips crept to his acknowledgeable fifty in 96 balls with the help of six fours while Adegbola supported him well concealing the other end.
Both batsmen started playing aggressive cricket after 40 overs and shared 55 runs partnership for the seventh wicket. Adegbola lost his wicket after scoring 17 runs off 41 balls as Philips carried on his single handed heroic efforts to give some respect
to the Nigerian total.
Philips was the eighth victim after building a valuable score of 75 runs off 125 balls with the help of nine fours.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nigeria-c2970 was bowled out at 153 runs in the allocated quota of 50 overs
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hisham-Mirza-c63244 claimed one wicket each.
Nigerians made valiant efforts to post a healthy score but it looks to be a chaseable total keeping in view the batting capabilities of Kuwait.
