Nigeria eased past Malawi at the Gahanga 2 Oval as captain Lucky Piety won the toss for the first time in the competition and elected to bat first.
The decision proved smart as the Nigerian cruised to 147 runs for the loss of four wickets in the first innings.
Malawi had their moments while bowling, as they ran out, caught, and bowled out four of Nigeria’s six batters in the game.
But their chase wasn’t any easy in the second innings, which saw Nigeria limit them to just 61 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in 18.1 overs.
Captain Piety, Peace Usen, and Kehinde Amusa got two wickets each in the process.
