With the conclusion of the league stages of the Women's T20 Challenge 2022, Harmanpreet Kaur's Supernovas are set to meet Deepti Sharma's Velocity in an electrifying final on Saturday evening.
After the three teams — Trailblazers, Supernovas, and Velocity — played one game against each other in the league stage where each lost one and won one game. Supernovas reached the final of the tournament backed by their strong run rate which they earned after defeating Smriti Mandhana's Trailblazers by 49 runs. Pooja Vastrakar picked up four wickets for just 12 runs in the match, which sufficed to restrict Trailblazers to 114 for 9 in 20 overs while chasing 164.
In their second match, Supernovas faced Velocity where the latter successfully chased down the highest run of 151 backed by Shafali Verma's blitzkrieg of 51 runs and another half-century by Laura Wolvaardt.
Velocity faced Trailblazers in the third match of the group stages. The Trailblazers, who were languishing at the bottom of the table after their 49-run defeat against Supernovas, needed to restrict Velocity to a score below 158 runs after scoring a total of 190 runs. Though Velocity lost the match, they managed to score 174 and knocked out the defending champions. Debutant Kiran Navgire shone for Velocity picking up the fastest fifty in the history of the tournament in just 25 deliveries.
As Supernovas and Velocity will once again meet in the final, some flares are expected to unfold at the Maharashtra Cricket Academy ground on Saturday.
