NAIROBI, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Cameroon has turned out to be favorite to lift the Women's Under-20 African Nations Championship title after they claimed their second straight victory over Tanzania here on Wednesday.

"The squad is gelling well and our target is to win the title and secure the ticket to World Championships. But we respect each team and will take each game, one at a time," said Akono.
