The six-team tournament, being hosted at two venues in Nigeria's largest city Lagos, has seen a few lopsided matches so far. Sierra Leone beat Ivory Coast by 168 runs in the second match. But that winning margin pales in comparison to Nigeria's hammering of Ivory Coast in the 5th match, with the latter getting out for seven runs while chasing a 272-run target.
In Saint Helena, Sierra Leone are likely to find matching rivals. Sierra Leone won the toss and opted to bowl first at Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval, Lagos.
