Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the 2020 Women’s T20 Challenge final between Trailblazers and Supernovas at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah at 7:30 PM IST.
TRL 85/1 after 12 overs: Excellent half a century of Smriti Mandhana and what a captain’s stroke he has played. Hit the landmark with a cap, then jump down the track to smoke Poonam for up to 14 races.
TRL 71/0 after 11 overs: Shashikala Siriwardene starts off decently as five runs come from her. The supernovae may not have chosen a wicket, but they haven’t let the Trailblazers get away.
TRL 66/0 after 10 overs: The association has been worth 67 out of 62 and this has been a good start. Smriti is approaching its half century.
TRL 62/0 after 9 overs: Anuja Patil has thrown another narrow over and it is Dottin who is playing the maximum number of deliveries with Smriti stranded at 43. Supernovae are setting things back.
TRL 59/0 after 8 overs: Poonam Yadav with his spin has reduced the score, as only three runs come from his first over. It is the Mandhana window that the Supernovae are looking at, as Dottin has played the role of a second violin, perfectly.
TRL 56/0 after 7 overs: Time out! There is no way to stop Smriti from striking Vastrakar for a maximum of time and half a century is up for grabs. Supernovae in need of windows …
TRL 45/0 after 6 overs: Excellent start for the Trailblazers, but Radha Yadav throws an excellent over tight, giving up just four runs since her second over.
TRL 41/0 after 5 overs: Fabulous hitting from Smriti Mandhana as he unleashes a powerful push back as the Trailblazers get off to a perfect start to the grand finale.
TRL 33/0 after 4 overs: Radha Yadav throws a tight ball and concedes just six, considering the way Smriti is going at the moment. The boss has run to 24 with only 13 balls.
TRL 27/0 after 3 overs: Fantastic batting from the captain and the Trailblazers off to a brilliant start. Smriti has his eye on and with another limit, this time through the blankets he gets his team off to a good start.
TRL 20/0 after 2 overs: Smriti is off to a good start when she hits Anuja Patil for 14 runs, including two consecutive limits and a six, which was the shot choice. Jump down the track and smoke high for long for max.
TRL 6/0 after 1 envelope: Dottin kicks into gear with a limit, driven firmly off the ground and the Trailblazers are out of place.
At that time we are ready for the final of the women’s T20 and it will be Smriti Mandhana together with Deandra Dottin. For Supernovas it will be Ayabonga Khaka with the new ball.
Launch: Supernovas win launch, choose to launch first against Trailblazers.
