National women’s volleyball team Malkia Strikers produced arguably one of the greatest comebacks in their history to beat African Nations Championship holders Cameroon 3-2 (18-25, 16-25, 27-25, 29-27, 15-12) in a thrilling final Group B match in Cairo, Egypt on Thursday night to qualify for the semi-finals with an unbeaten record.
It was sweet revenge for Malkia after they lost by straight sets to Cameroon in the 2017 continental finals in Yaoundé, barely a year after the West Africans had denied them a ticket to the 2016 Rio Olympics Games.
