Women's T20 Challenge - Trailblazers v/s Supernovas - Preview, Predicted 11, When to Watch, Live Stream
All you need to know about the clash between Trailblazers and Supernovas in the Women's T20 Challenge.
Returning to the fold after a gap of one year, the Women's T20 Challenge will kickstart today with the defending champions Trailblazers taking on the last edition's finalist Supernovas. It is a battle of Goliath v/s Goliath as the two time winners Supernovas led by Harmanpreet Kaur try to extract revenge over Smriti Mandhana's Trailblazers for the final of the last edition in the first match of the season.
Head to Head
The Trailblazers and Supernovas have gone head to head a total of four times in the previous three editions, including an all-important final. Though there is nothing to separate the two teams in head to had encounters, the Trailblazers might have the edge considering the fact that they had the better of Supernovas in the final back in 2020.
Total Matches Played - 4

Pitch and weather conditions
The MCA stadium in Pune is usually known for it's good batting surface. But, with two months of continuous IPL action, the pitch might have slowed down a bit. This might keep the spinners and slower bowlers in the game, while making it difficult for batters. Expect the team winning the toss to bat first, if so.
