ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2021, Nigeria vs Tanzania: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast, pitch report and live streaming details

In the 12th match of the ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers 2021, Nigeria and Tanzania will lock horns at the Integrated Polytechnic Regional Center in Kigali on Saturday.

Tanzania started their campaign with two losses. However, they managed to win some crucial games, but they seem to be almost out of contention for the 2022 T20 World Cup. They need a big win over Nigeria to go past other contenders, which seems quite unlikely.

Nigeria, meanwhile, are having a disastrous campaign, right from the first game. They are yet to win a game in four contests they have played so far. They need some strong and collective performances in all three departments to turn around their fortunes. As this contest is a dead rubber for them, they could bring out their A-game, as they have nothing to lose.
