African basketball champions, Nigeria’s D’Tigress, defeated their Australian counterparts 75-62 at the Paris Olympic Games.

D'Tigress actually started the Game on a winning note.

The team last won an Olympics match 20 years ago.

In what has been described as the biggest upset of the Olympics so far, Nigeria stunned the Opals.

The Rena Wakama-led ladies, in a performing feat, beat the Australians 75-62 at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium.

It was the team’s first win in an Olympic match since Athens 2004.
