Women’s T20 challenge 2020, Highlights, Trailblazers vs Supernovas match: Supernovas beat Trailblazers by two runs, both teams qualify for final

Supernovas win by two runs!

Radha Yadav defends nine runs in the final over to help Supernovas clinch a two-run win and reach the final. Trailblazers have already qualified for the final so they wouldn't mind the result. 

OUT! Harleen Deol c Anuja Patil b Radha Yadav 27(15) 

19.5: Anuja Patil takes the catch at cover. The match will be decided on the last ball. Harleen stepped out to find some momentum but could only manage to place his shot straight to Anuja at cover.

OUT! Hemalatha c Bhatia b Radha Yadav 4(7)

OUT! Smriti c and b Anuja Patil 33(40)

Supernovas have got the big wicket! Anuja Patil breaks the partnership after returning to the attack for her last over. A soft dismissal as Mandhana chipped it back to the bowler after she stepped out for a shot.

OUT! Richa Ghosh b Selman 4(2) 

Second wicket for Selman in the over. Richa wanted to attack, got down the pitch but the ball held its line and escaped the bat to uproot the middle stump. 

OUT! Dottin lbw b Selman 27(15) 

Shakera Selman strikes in her first over. It could have been going down leg but Mandhana didn't give the confidence to Dottin to take a review. The batter was hit on middle and leg trying to play a flick shot. 

After 20 overs, Supernovas 146/6 (Radha Yadav 1)

 Sophie with the final over of the innings for Trailblazers. Doesn’t pick up a wicket and concedes just five runs off it. But three run outs (of Shashikala, Harmanpreet and Radha) in one over and in a similar fashion, as the batswomen tried to sneak the second run, which was completely needless. But something for the Supernovas’ bowlers to work with.

Trailblazers need 147 runs to beat Supernovas.

RUN OUT! Again! Harmanpreet Kaur departs. Superb fielding effort by Dottin in the deep and excellent work by Richa Ghosh to run forward, collect the throw and nail the direct hit. Kaur run out (Dottin/Richa Ghosh) 31(29) 

OUT! Jemimah departs. Another batswoman departs at such a crucial juncture. Jemimah hits the ball straight towards Jhulan, the bowler and the veteran pacer is not going to drop easy catches like those. Rodrigues c and b Goswami 1(2)

OUT! Big wicket. Chamari Athapaththu departs. She holes out to Hemalatha at long-off. But what a blinder of a knock from the Sri Lankan – 67 runs off just 48 balls. Harleen Deol gets the crucial wicket.  Athapaththu c Hemalatha b Harleen Deol 67(48)

50! Another sweep, another four. Chamari gets to her fifty off just 37 balls. What an explosive innings from Sri Lankan. Ordinary fielding by Jhulan on the square leg boundary.
