Nigeria Cricket National team taking part at the Pepsi International Cricket Council, World Cricket League division 6, in Jersey bounced back from yesterday's defeat to host nation Jersey by beating Bahrain with 8 wickets.

   The Asian side who won the toss and batted first were reduced to 104 runs all out in 33 overs, no thanks to opening Bowler Saheed Akolade, who grabbed 6 wickets while his efforts was complemented by in-form Seye Olympio, who also had 3 wickets.
Insipid batting from opening Batsman Segun Olayinka with 50 runs not out ensured that Nigeria coasted to their third victory in four games.

     The Nigerian team had earlier defeated Vanatu, Kuwait, before the Bahrain victory but lost to Jersey and will be hoping to beat South American nation, Argentina with a qualification to the World Cricket Division 5 all to fight for.
