The final day of the ICC Under 19 World Cup Africa Division One Qualifier promises to be a tense affair, with Nigeria and Namibia vying for a spot in the 2020 World Cup in South Africa.
Nigeria have enjoyed a remarkable week, with four straight wins taking them to the brink of a first ever World Cup appearance.
They lock horns with Sierra Leone, who won the toss and elected to bat first. Nigeria know that a win will guarantee them progression.
Should they slip up, however, Namibia are waiting to pick up the pieces. The tournament hosts are batting first against Kenya, and made a fast start, notching 61 in the first eight overs.
Their superior net run-rate will come in handy should Nigeria drop the ball against Sierra Leone.
Namibia are hoping to maintain a proud record of qualification for the age-group tournament.
In the third game of the day, Uganda and Tanzania meet, both looking to finish a tough tournament on a high.
