Highlights, Women's T20 Challenge, Supernovas vs Trailblazers at Mumbai, Full Cricket Score: Kaur and Co win by three wickets

What a match!!! The perfect start to what could ot rather should become a reality soon.

Tough luck for Trailblazers who ended up on the wrong side of the result.

A close game there and it was the New Zealand player Suzie Bates who shone with both the bat and ball to take Trailblazers to sniffing distance of a memorable victory.  

Smriti Mandhana can be proud of her team who almost defended 129.

But looking at the wicket, we are in for a cracker of a qualifier between the best bowling side of this IPL, Sunrises Hyderabad and the best batting line up of this edition, Chennai Super Kings

Wasn’t a stroll in the park as Supernovas almost ended up throwing it away. All players were within the ring barring one at the cow corner and guess what the winning run came in that region.

Crowd too got into it towards the end.

So we have had the road test for Women’s IPL, hard fought game with Supernovas winning it off the last ball with 3 wickets in hand. The ball is now set to roll, hopefully we have a full-fledged Women’s IPL soon.

After 20 overs, Supernovas 130/7 (Perry 13, Pooja 2) 

Supernovas win by three wickets as Pooja hits one towards the deep mid-wicket and collects a single. Trailblazers brought the match very close in the end, thanks to some irresponsible batting down the order for Supernovas. But the cricket fans are not complaning as the first exhibition match between the women superstars in cricket has lived up to its reputation.

After 19 overs, Supernovas 126/7 (Perry 11, Pooja 0) 

Ekta Bisht into the attack and she has bowled well. Mona went back after terrible running the wicket. The match has gone into the last over. Supernovas need 4 off 6.

After 18 overs, Supernovas 120/6 (Perry 6, Mona 3) 

The match is going annoyingly very slow. It is because of how some quick wickets have fallen. At the same time, Supernovas are in touching distance of the win but the innings is going at a snail’s pace. Big shots are being caught and that has put stoppage on the boundaries. Supernovas need 10 runs in 12 balls.

Couple of needless shots led to Veda and Harmanpreet’s departure. Kaur’s dismissal came of a change up from Bates.

Onus on Perry to see the Supernovas through. Thought Goswami would bowl the penultimate over, looks like Mandhana is going for the wicket instead of taking the game deep.

The match was seemingly slipping away from the Trailblazers as the Supernovas required just under 20 runs in four overs, but two wickets in the span of five balls has made things interesting at the Wankhede.

And with a couple of hours left for the start of the qualifier, the stadium is slowly getting filled in.

A lot of Dhoni fans have walked in giving us a glimpse of the team Wankhede might side with at 7 pm

After 17 overs, Supernovas 116/6 (Perry 4, Mona 1) 

Just when it appeared that things were in control for Supernovas, Harmanpreet Kaur went for a glory shot and perished. Equation might not be in their favour, but Trailblazers are for sure back in this with the loss of Harman’s wicket.

After 16 overs, Supernovas 112/5 (Perry 1, Harmanpreet 21) 

Jhulan has come in and one wonders if it is too late. She has sent back Veda back to the hut but Perry walks in. Supernovas need 18 runs in 24 balls and it will still take a lot for Trailblazers to stop them.

After 15 overs, Supernovas 108/4 (Veda 2, Harmanpreet 18) 

Bates goes back but she has done her job. The next batswoman is Veda Krishnamurthy and we are expecting the match to be over soon now, she carries such reputation in her arms. Supernovas need 22 runs in 30 balls.

Good move by Smriti Mandhana to bring Deepti in the 14th over. The pitch that is clearly on the slower side has been tough to bat on.

Supernovas bowled 9 overs of spin in the first innings.

Deepti just bowled the 10th over of spin in the second innings. All three wickets have fallen to spin in this innings.

Poonam has been the pick of the Trailblazers bowlers. Giving away 21 runs in her quota of overs and picking a couple of wickets, Poonam’s spell has kept the Trailblazers in the game. She gave away just one boundary and had her redemption in the very next ball when she sent Supernovas opener Wyatt back to the pavilion.

An excellent spell from the spinner against some of the biggest names in world cricket.

After 14 overs, Supernovas 100/3 (Devine 18, Harmanpreet 13) 

100 comes up for Supernovas in the 14th over. Devine’s tough chance was spilled by Healy and she hit six on the next ball. Going easy for them right now. Supernovas need 30 runs in 36 balls.

After 13 overs, Supernovas 90/3 (Devine 10, Harmanpreet 11) 

Brilliant spell of bowling by Poonam Yadav. She completes her quota with 2/21. Low score and good start by openers means Supernovas are still not under pressure. They need need 40 runs in 42 balls.

After 12 overs, Supernovas 85/3 (Devine 7, Harmanpreet 9) 

Harmanpreet playing clever here. She is walking out but not playing any lofted shots, rather sticking to grounded ones. Need not go for big shots as just 45 runs needed in 48 balls.
