The Super Falcons came into the tournament as defending champions. Egypt are as good as eliminated, having lost both their matches. This is despite Zambia having a goal difference of +5 compared to Nigeria’s 0. However, if Zambia beat Malawi and Nigeria beat Egypt, then the Copper Queens, Super Falcons and Scorchers will all have six points. In that case, matches between all three of them would come into consideration when determining who had the best head-to-head record.
