TRA vs SUP, Women’s T20 Challenge Live Score Streaming, Match 3 Live Updates: Energetic Atapattu on a Safe Start for Supernovas

Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2020 match between the pioneers of Smriti Mandhana and the supernovae of Harmanpreet Kaur.

Deepti continues. Simple adjusted from the first ball for Punia. SHOOTING! Driven on the ground for six by Atapattu. What a shot. Deepti concedes 2 wide next balls. Punia takes a single and atapattu is back on strike. The latter returns to sweep Deepti for four. One point to finish the fourth. SPN 28/0 after 4 Overs.

Jhulan continues. Punia drives but finds the gardener. She still hasn’t come out of the target. Strong appeal to lbw – not given. And they don’t review. With good reason: he was missing a leg stump. Punia drives again and again, straight to the fielder. Finally he opens his account with a single, Punia does. SPN 13/0 after 3 Overs.

Deepti Sharma has participated in the attack. A point later, Atapattu picks up a clamp before picking up a boundary across the square backwards. And another limit, this time direct to the ground, to finish the change. 10 above. SPN 12/0 after 2 Overs.

One point to start the process. The ball stays a little low this time. Leg goodbye to next ball – hint of movement for Jhulan. Two points follow. A simple to short middle window for Atapattu. Another point to end the end. SPN 2/0 after 1 Over.

We are ready for the action to begin. The pressure will be on the Supernovae. They are two-time champions, but they face the optimistic Trailblazers. Priya Punia and Chamari Atapattu will open for SPN. Jhulan Goswami with the new ball.
