SUP vs VEL, Highlights, Women's IPL T20 Challenge 2019, Full Cricket Score: Velocity qualify for final despite loss, Supernovas also progress

The Supernovas and Velocity will now lock horns in the Women's T20 Challenge 2019 final on Saturday. With all the teams finishing with two points, it all came down to the net run-rate as the Trailblazers were knocked out after Velocity went past the 117-run mark. Mithali remained unbeaten on 40, while Veda was not out on 30 runs. 

Jemimah Rodrigues also showcased some blistering display with an unbeaten knock of 77 from just 48 balls. 

That's all we have from this match. Until next time, goodbye!  

What do you guys feel?

One team not trying to win a cricket game is poor advertisement for the sport. Understand that qualifying is important...but how about reaching there while making an effort to win too?? Velocity was three down not seven. #WomensT20Challenge

Harmanpreet Kaur: Definitely, we did not bat well in the first six overs. Still, 140 was a decent score on the board. 
The bowlers did well. This tournament is very important for us. Everyone is doing well, and we are looking forward to the final. We want the girls to do well so that they get more chances.  If everyone performs well, it gives us confidence at the end of the day.  That was their planning but we just wanted to win this. We were not thinking about what they were thinking ( When asked about the 117-run cut-off mark) 

Jemimah Rodrigues, Player of the Match: It was important for me to play throughout, so happy for that. My coach told me to just time the ball and not try to hit it hard. I think the confidence I get while playing the on-drive is amazing. I just tried to get good impact on the ball.

Mithali Raj: I knew that if pacers bowled stump to stump and a nagging length, it would have helped. But a couple of our bowlers didn't have a good outing and some mishaps also happened in the field. With all this, we actually did well to restrict them to 142. (On the plan during the chase) Well yea, we had decided that if we get a good start early on, we will play for the win. But if you lose two wickets early chasing such a score, it becomes tough as we knew that we didn't have the batting depth. If Danny (Wyatt) batted deeper, we might have had a better chance. So, the plan was to target the final spot and everyone was aware of the plan. It does get difficult under lights as the girls aren't used to it. They do practise but it takes time to get adjusted to

After 20 overs, VEL 130-3 (Mithali 40, Veda 30)

Supernovas have beaten Velocity by 12 runs to set up a final rematch between the same two teams after all three teams finished with two points. 
Trailblazers have been knocked out after having only won the tournament's opening game against Supernovas. Mithali and Veda put up a 53-run partnership, and as soon as the team went past 117, it was all but confirmed that these two teams would meet again in the final on Saturday. 

FOUR! Mithali slams two boundaries in consecutive deliveries, but that won't be enough for them to win the match. 

After 19 overs, VEL 120-3 (Mithali 39, Veda 21)

Velocity have qualified for the final after they crossed the 117-run mark. Eight runs coming off Harmanpreet's over. 

FOUR! Mithali hits a four which sees Velocity qualify for the final!
