Nigeria’s captain, Adaora Elonu, who made her D’Tigress debut at the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket 2015 in Yaoundé, Cameroon will lead the Nigerian ladies out against Mali today. This time though, she won’t be chasing a debut outing but she and her teammates are locked in for a third consecutive win of the African cup.
Mali lost the final game at home way back in 2009 and since then they had not gone past the semi finals until Friday. The 2007 African champions defeated hosts Cameroon 52-51 to get the chance to attempt to dethrone Nigeria.Their rivalry was not built this year but over the decades. Mali defeated Nigeria in 2011 in Bamako with 71-62 result in a third place game but since then D’Tigress have beaten Mali in their last two AfroBasket meetings in 2017 and 2019 .
“I don’t want to use the word proud as you have introduced here. I would rather say that I am really humbled by what these ladies have been able to achieve. It is impressive when you see the great effort they make on and off the court to stay at this level.
