LIVE Score, WIPL 2019, Trailblazers vs Velocity: Velocity manage to cinch their first win in the Women’s T20 Challenge after a three-wicket victory against Trailblazers.

Danieele Wyat top-scored for Velocity with 46 runs, whereas Shafali Verma looked good with a knock of 34 before the collapse started. Both teams will have a lot to look upon, with the Trailblazers struggling in batting as well as their fielding, which has been sloppy.

Wyatt ‘a cameo has sealed the game. She’s also shown that this pitch isn’t as poor to bat on, and that if you use your feet you can create momentum. The dropped catches from the Trailblazers haven’t helped. The first game in this series, including last year, that hasn’t gone down to the wire.

After 13 overs, Velocity 90/2 (D Wyatt 31, M Raj11)

Only three runs off Ecclestone’s over, but misfielding seems to be a concern for the Trailblazers. Without any doubt, Velocity are in the drivers’ seat and have stolen the game away from the Trailblazers bowlers.

After 12 overs, Velocity 87/2 (D Wyatt 30, M Raj 9)

This is a very handy innings from Shafali. She has been promoted ahead of batters like Danni Wyatt, and she’s repaid the faith. Put Velocity in the drivers seat by taking run rate out of the equation. With Mithali to come in the middle, they should chase this easily.

Velocity are staying true to their name, getting off to an enterprising start, even though they’ve lost Matthews. Interesting use of Shafali Sharma at the top of the order, and she hasn’t lacked in intent. Where Mithali bats will be a talking point in this game.

After 3 over, VEL 21/0 (H Matthews 4, S Verma 10)

Two back-to-back fours by Shafali in the first two balls has given a huge boost for Velocity as they look in a hurry to finish things off. An expensive over for Shakera as nine runs come from it.

After 2 over, VEL 12/0 (H Matthews 4, S Verma 1)

Nothing going right for the Trailblazers. Ecclestone has dropped a golden opportunity to dismiss Shafali Verma, and apart from that she has conceded five wides with keeper unable to collect it cleanly. Luck is not favouring the Trailblazers today.

It’s a below par total, but not by much. But considering Trailblazers are short of a bowler  this is Velocity’s game to lose. Also a concern for Trailblazers of how their batting will shape up if Mandhana is out cheaply.

Eight runs coming off the last over as Velocity restrict Trailblazers for 112-6. They were looking set at 50-2 at one stage, but suffered a terrible collapse to finish at a below-par total. The main positive must have been Harleen Deol’s knock of 43 and the bowlers will now look to bowl under pressure.

After 19 overs TBL 104/5 (S Selman 1 , D Hemalatha 1)

The Trailblazers batting line-up continue to suffer as Bharati Fulmali departs for just two runs. The Velocity bowlers are giving no room for improvement to the batsmen and the game is clearly in their control. Three runs from this over as Ekta Bisht finishes with an impressive spell of 2-13.

Things not looking good for Trailblazers, as they will be hard pressed to get a score of 120+. Hemalatha can provide those big hits, so Deepti can’t afford to stick around. Impetus needed.

LIVE Score, WIPL 2019, Trailblazers vs Velocity: Velocity manage to cinch their first win in the Women’s T20 Challenge after a three-wicket victory against Trailblazers. Not  a convincing win for them as they collapsed to 113-7 from looking comfortable at 63-2. Danieele Wyat top-scored for Velocity with 46 runs, whereas Shafali Verma looked good with a knock of 34 before the collapse started. Both teams will have a lot to look upon, with the Trailblazers struggling in batting as well as their fielding, which has been sloppy. WIPL, Trailblazers vs Velocity today’s match preview: Mithali Raj’s Velocity are all set to debut in the Women’s T20 Challenge 2019 when they face Smriti Mandhana’s Trailblazers in the second match of the tournament here on Wednesday. Mandhana and Co registered a thrilling two-run win against the Supernovas on Monday thanks to a knock of 90 by the captain herself and wicket contributions by Sophie Ecclestone and Rajeshwari Gayakwad. The worrying sign for Trailblazers will be their dependence on their skipper as four of their other batters, barring Smriti and Harleen Deol, were dismissed for single figures. During their innings, the Trailblazers collapsed to 140/5 from being in a comfortable position at 130/2 in the space of the last two overs. On the other hand, Mithali Raj’s side looks strong on paper. With the likes of Danielle Wyatt, Hayley Mathews among other, a cracker of a contest can be expected. Come Wednesday, Trailblazers’ batting line-up will be tested against the likes of Shikha Pandey, Ekta Bisht and the surprise package of 18-year-old Amelia Kerr from New Zealand. The Kiwi teenager is famously known for scoring 232 runs and taking five wickets in one match, when she did so against Ireland last year. Ultimately, the key to Trailblazers’ win against Supernovas were the impressive spells by Ecclestone and Gayakwad, who finished with spells of 2-11 and 2-17 respectively. If Trailblazers win the match, they will get one step closer to reaching the tournament’s final on Saturday. Trailblazers and Velocity full squads:  Trailblazers: Smriti Mandhana (Captain), Bharti Fulmali, Dayalan Hemlatha, Deepti Sharma, Harleen Deol, Jasia Akhtar, Jhulan Goswami, R Kalpana (WK), Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Shakera Selman (West Indies), Sophie Ecclestone (England), Stafanie Taylor (West Indies), Suzie Bates (New Zealand). Velocity: Mithali Raj (Captain), Amelia Kerr (New Zealand), Danielle Wyatt (England), Devika Vaidya, Ekta Bisht, Hayley Matthews (West Indies), Jahanara Alam (Bangladesh), Komal Zhanzad, Shafali Verma, Shikha Pandey, Sushma Verma (WK), Sushree Dibyadarshini, Veda Krishnamurthy.   For the full schedule, date, time and venue of all the matches of IPL 12, click here Check out the full points table for IPL 2019, including holders of Orange and Purple Caps
