Ivory Coast were bowled out for a record low total against Nigeria in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier Group C.

Nigeria recorded one of the highest margins of victory in Men’s T20Is after they racked up 271/4 against Ivory Coast and then bowled them out for just seven runs in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier Group C match on Monday, 25 November.

This is the lowest total ever recorded in a men’s T20I, going past the previous record of 10 runs by Mongolia (in 2024) and the Isle of Man (in 2023).

Nigeria were in top form with the bat, smashing 271 after Selim Salau hit 112 runs off 53 balls.

With the ball, Isaac Danladi and Prosper Useni took three wickets apiece as Ivory Coast lost all ten wickets inside 7.3 overs, making it the first time a team was bowled out for single digits in men’s T20Is.

The margin of win of 264 runs is the third-highest in terms of margin of win in men’s T20Is.
