This sprawling city may have hosted the country’s first-ever Nationals in women’s cricket nearly half-a-century ago, but it didn’t seem too excited about the Women’s T20 Challenge. Until Saturday night, that is.
An excellent crowd turned up at the MCA Stadium for the final. Supernovas won a memorable game by four runs.
It was the third title in four editions for Supernovas. If Velocity came so close, chasing 166, that was because of a stunning fightback staged by Laura Wolvaardt (65 n.o., 40b, 5x4, 3x6) and Simran Bahadur (20 n.o., 10b, 3x4, 1x6), with their unbroken stand of 44 for the ninth wicket.
