Hayley Matthews STRIKES!
A bit short from the off-spinner, Priya Punia rocks back in an attempt to pull. All she manages is to drag it back onto the stumps. Much needed for the Trailblazers and they are all smiles.
SPN - 63/2 (7.1)

58 off the Powerplay!
It was decent over from Hayley Matthews until Harleen Doel swept the final ball for a boundary. End of the powerplay and the Supernovas have registered the highest-ever powerplay score in Women's T20 Challenge.
A stunning start for Supernovas, but they would have preferred having Dottin out there.
SPN - 58/1 (6)

Fastest team 50!
The Supernovas have raced to their 50 off just 4.5 overs. That's the fastest in the short history of Women's T20 Challenge. Some start this for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side.

Deandra Dottin, OUT!
That's an unfortunate way to walk back, but this was probably the only way the Trailblazers could have got rid of Deandra Dottin. The West Indian had already pocketed a boundary and a six off the over before deciding to take a risky single.
Priya Punia denis, but Dottin is halfway down the pitch. A direct hit from Sharmin Akhter, standing at mid-wicket and the West Indian is well short at the non-strikers end.
SPN - 50/1 (5)

Priya Punia is not to be left behind
This is a stunning assault from both ends. Now Priya Punia pockets two boundaries off Gayakwad and the Supernovas have raced to 39 for no loss after 4 overs.

Dottin on the charge!
Deandra Dottin is on song today and she has taken Renuka Singh to cleaners. 14 off that over, including 3 boundaries off the West Indian's bat. This is already looking ominous for the defending champions.
SPN - 29/0 (3)
- 23 May 2022 2:09 PM GMT
SPN - 15/0
A decent start this for Supernovas as Dottin manages to get a boundary off Rajeshwari Gayakwad in the second over.
SPN - 15/0 (2)
- 23 May 2022 2:05 PM GMT
Punia goes bang!
A decent start from Renuka Singh, before Priya Punia decides she has had enough. Come down the track and smashes Singh into the stands over long on. Brilliant strike to end the first over!
SPN - 8/0 (1)
- 23 May 2022 2:01 PM GMT

Deandra Dottin and Priya Punia will open the innings for Supernovas. Renuka Singh with the ball for Trailblazers.
