The Nigerian side maintained their momentum from the win against France on Friday and dictated the pace of the game against Mali.
They came back from a set down to defeat their fellow West Africans and book a ticket place for the competition billed for September in Australia.
Nigeria lost the first set 20-22 at the Ranko Zeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade but rallied back, just like they did against France, from a 2-points deficit in the first quarter, to stun the Malians.
This is an encouraging win by the girls and will go along way to keep their momentum high.
