Ivory Coast has set an unfortunate record in the realm of men's T20 internationals, posting the lowest total ever during a match in the ICC T20 World Cup Sub-Regional Africa Qualifier Group C against Nigeria.

Responding to Nigeria's formidable 271 for 4, Ivory Coast crumbled quickly, bowled out for just seven runs in 7.3 overs—marking the first single-digit score in men's T20I history.

Nigeria claimed victory by 264 runs, the third-largest margin in T20I history, bolstered by commanding performances, including a 112-run innings by Selim Salau, as they lead their group while Ivory Coast remains at the bottom.
