Team Ogun State has stamped its authority on the cricket events at the ongoing 22nd National Sports Festival (Gateway Games), with both the male and female teams storming into the semifinals of the T20 competition after impressive performances on Thursday.

The Ogun male team, led by captain and national team star Sesan Adedeji, delivered a commanding 9-wicket victory over Team Zamfara to secure their semifinal berth.

With this result, Ogun now awaits their semifinal opponent, with a potential blockbuster rematch against Kaduna on the cards.

Adedeji, exuding confidence, reiterated his team’s gold medal ambition, saying:
"We’re in a strong position now. After Kaduna, no one has better points than us. We’re taking it one game at a time—this win is done, and we’re giving our all in the semifinals. The gold is our target."

Not to be outdone, the Ogun women’s team maintained their flawless run, securing back-to-back wins in the group stage. After a 4-wicket triumph over Ebonyi on Tuesday, they crushed Gombe by 8 wickets on Thursday, showcasing their depth and firepower.

With both teams firing on all cylinders, Ogun State is now poised for a historic double podium finish. Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating a potential golden sweep for the Gateway State as the competition heats up.
