Breaking News: D'Tigers of Nigeria Qualifies for Quarterfinals, Wins Cameroon #afrobasket2025
đ Nigeriaâs DâTigress Make History with 5th Straight AfroBasket Title, Crowned Queens of Africa Yet Again! By Achegbulu David â Avuncular Sports Desk, Abidjan In a breathtaking showdown at the 2025 Womenâs AfroBasketball Championship held in Abidjan, CĂ´te dâIvoire, Nigeriaâs DâTigress have once again proven why they are the undisputed queens of African basketball. With a clinical 78â64 win over Mali in the grand finale, the Nigerian ladies have clinched their seventh AfroBasket title overall â and remarkably, their fifth consecutive crown (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and now 2025). From the jump ball to the final buzzer, the DâTigress were relentless, resilient, and razor-sharp â showcasing the very essence of championship pedigree. đ Road to Glory: Crushing Contenders This wasnât just a victory; it was a coronation after a campaign that saw Nigeria eliminate the top-ranked teams in Africa in stunning fashion. ⢠In the quarterfinals, the DâTigress blew past the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon, ranked 5th in Africa, with a dominant 83â47 win, winning all four quarters with emphatic energy and ruthless execution. ⢠The semifinal against Senegal was a thrilling rollercoaster. After leading 43â37 at halftime, Nigeria stumbled in the third quarter but came roaring back in the fourth to defeat the 3rd-ranked Teranga Lionesses 75â68 in a dramatic finish, sending a loud message to the rest of the continent: the queens are not done reigning. ⢠In the final showdown, Mali, Africaâs second-ranked team, put up a fierce fight. By the end of the second quarter, the scoreboard read 41â41, a deadlock that had fans holding their breath. But that was as far as Mali would go. The DâTigress turned up the heat in the second half, outpacing and outclassing their opponents, finishing with a 14-point lead to seal the historic 78â64 win. đ Amy Okonkwo: Tournament MVP There was no denying the brilliance of Amy Okonkwo, who was officially named the (MVP) of the tournament. Her leadership on the court, clutch plays, and explosive offense were instrumental in Nigeriaâs title defense, as she anchored the team throughout the tournament with poise and power. đď¸ Coach Rena Wakama: The Woman Behind the Machine History continues to be written by Coach Rena Wakama, who now becomes a two-time AfroBasket champion as head coach of the DâTigress. After guiding the team to glory in Kigali 2023 and a historic quarterfinal appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics (a 1st for any African basketball team), Coach Wakama has solidified her legacy as one of the most respected figures in African womenâs sports. Her ability to inspire, adapt, and command the court has become a defining feature of this golden era of DâTigress dominance. đ Global Stage Awaits: Nigeria Qualifies for the 2026 FIBA Womenâs World Cup With this victory, Nigeria has automatically qualified for the 2026 FIBA Womenâs Basketball World Cup, continuing their place among the worldâs elite. Theyâll be joined by fellow African powerhouses Mali, Senegal, and South Sudan â all of whom reached the semifinals of this yearâs tournament. 2 Queens, One Nation: Falcons & DâTigress Make 2025 a Year to Remember The timing of this achievement couldnât be more poetic. Just weeks ago, Nigeriaâs Super Falcons lifted their 10th WAFCON title in Morocco after a dramatic 3-2 comeback over host nation Morocco. And now, the DâTigress have mirrored that glory â notching their 7th AfroBasket championship and affirming Nigeriaâs dominance in African womenâs sports. A Nation Awaits to Celebrate With such a monumental achievement, a heroâs welcome awaits the DâTigress back home. Given the wave of incentives, national recognition, and endorsements showered on the Super Falcons after their WAFCON triumph, expectations are high that President Tinubuâs government, sponsors, and fans will extend the same honor and rewards to these basketball heroines. They have carried Nigeriaâs name with pride, represented Africa on the global stage, and delivered unforgettable moments that will live long in the hearts of millions. đĽ For more in-depth stories, behind-the-scenes footage, and updates on Nigerian and African sports, especially women in athletics, subscribe to our YouTube channels: đş Avuncularâs Production đş Avuncular Movies Donât forget to turn on your notifications â greatness doesnât wait!

This has been a rollicking series with plenty of action across the two matches in Darwin and the two teams arrive in Queensland for the series-decider with the assignment currently standing at 1-1. Iqbal Sports Live. Km Punk Live. Crictalks Live. Named after Australian rules football legend Roy Cazaly the Cazaly's Stadium is all set to host its maiden T20 international while this will be the first international game at the venue since September 2022. A Tim David power show rescued Australia in the series opener. David hammered away 83 runs off just 52 balls to lift the side to a challenging 178 from 75/6. Kwena Maphaka bagged 4/20 Kagiso Rabada finished with 2/29. Iqbal Sports. Km Punk. Senuran Muthusamy returned with an excellent 1/24 as these spells put the Aussies on the back foot for the majority of the innings. Still it didn't keep David under pressure as the big man went hammer and tongs. South Africa struggled in the run chase with Australia bowling tight lines and lengths. Ryan Rickelton scored a decent half-century but he was a bit too late to take the attack to the opposition as his 71 came off 55 balls. Crictalks. Tristan Stubbs supported the keeper-batter but in the end it was a bit too much to do for the visitors as the rest of the batting line-up collapsed big time. Josh Hazlewood and Ben Dwarshuis grabbed three wickets each while Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell kept the stranglehold on the Aiden Markram-led side and restricted it to 161/9 helping the Aussies to a 17-run win. The Proteas had to come back in the second T20I but at 57/3. One thought it was just another game that Australia would dominate. It wasn't the case this time. Dewald Brevis stepped up for the touring party playing a career-defining knock and scoring a breathtaking 125* off 56 balls and saw his side post a massive 218/7 after being put into bat first. Hazlewood and Zampa were extremely expensive while Maxwell Dwarshuis continued their good series with the ball and applied a bit of resistance from their end. Australia kept their attacking instinct once again with plenty of batters getting starts and throwing their wickets irrespective of the situation their team was in. David once again came to the rescue and scored a whirlwind half-century but time unlike the first T20I his catch wasn't put down. South Africa kept chipping away and ensured that scoreboard pressure brought about the hosts' downfall as Australia were bundled out for 165 losing the second game by 53 runs. Every bowler chipped in for the Proteas. Corbin Bosch and Maphaka snared three wickets each. Despite latter being expensive the left-arm seamer was effective with his wicket-taking ability. There are a couple of injury concerns Australia heading into the series finale. Matthew Short who was initially said to be missing the first two T20Is due a side injury picked up while training in West Indies hasn't fully recovered and has been ruled out of the series decider. Hardie who the squad as a cover continues to remain in the Aussie camp. Hardie could come straight playing XI as the hosts will miss dashing all-rounder Mitchell Owen's services. Owen was hit on the helmet in second T20I. He has shown delayed symptoms of concussion and as per the protocols the Tasmanian has to be rested for a minimum of 12 days. Josh Inglis who missed the previous game due to the flu is expected to be back in the XI replacing Carey.
