Lucky Piety

The captain of Nigeria and an 18-year-old right-hand batter and wicketkeeper has won games for her side. She has taken two wickets and scored 25 runs in the ongoing Under-19 World Cup. Nigeria’s victory in the tournament is largely due to her leadership and all-around abilities.

Annointed Akhigbe

The 17-year-old right-handed batter and medium bowler from Nigeria, has been a promising talent in the ICC Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup 2025. In the T20 International format, she has played 6 matches, scoring 72 runs with a strike rate of 79.12 and an average of 18.00. She has also taken 1 wicket in 6 matches, showcasing her potential as an all-rounder.

Pitch:

With an average of 66 runs scored and 7 wickets lost in the first innings, pacers typically see some movement early on, indicating that the surface helps fast bowlers. The pitch gets better for batting as the match goes on, but spin bowlers also typically perform well, averaging 43 runs and 6 wickets in the second innings. With 80% of the matches being won by the side bowling first, toss-winning teams have demonstrated a predilection for bowling first, underlining the benefit of chasing at this venue.

Weather:

With mild temperatures of about 28°C, the weather at Sarawak Cricket Ground is predicted to be ideal for cricket. Early in the game, the bowlers, particularly the pacers, may benefit from the high humidity levels. A lengthy day of play is guaranteed because there is little to no danger of rain and cloud cover, which could help the seamers.
