AFRICA’S queens, D’Tigress, on Sunday defeated Mali 78-64 to clinch an unprecedented fifth consecutive AfroBasket title.
Mali demonstrated their determination to end Nigeria’s winning streak, drawing the first blood by winning the first quarter 26-21.
D’Tigress dug deeper into their technical books of tricks to rally back in the second quarter with a 20-15 win.
It was Nigeria all the way as D’Tigress outdunked Mali with a 20-15 win to extend their historic dominance and inch closer to another title.
With their eyes on the prize, the Nigerian girls wrapped up the game with a 17-8 win against their West African neighbours.
A huge reception is expected to be held in Abuja for D’Tigress where President Bola Tinubu had hailed their quest for a fifth consecutive title.
Will Tinubu give D’Tigress $100,000 each, a house, national orders as was the case with the Super Falcons on Monday 28 July 2025?
Congratulations D’Tigress.
