Women’s T20 challenge 2020, LIVE Score, Trailblazers vs Supernovas match: Harleen, Deepti keep Supernovas in game with attacking batting

22:49 (IST)

FOUR! Trailblazers are right back in it. Deepti moved across to create room and sliced her shot over backward point fielder with no third woman there 

22:47 (IST)

FOUR! Deepti finds a boundary at deep square leg. Shakera was guilty of bowling a half-tracker and the batter managed to beat the fielder

22:46 (IST)

After 18 overs, Trailblazers 123/4 (Deepti Sharma 31, Harleen Deol 21)

We don't know why Poonam Yadav didn't bowl so far but the leg-spinner is into the attack now, finally. But not a good start. 11 from it with Harleen getting two boundaries on the last two deliveries. Both were results of pull shots to deep midwicket as Poonam shortened her length. 24 needed from last two overs. 

22:44 (IST)

FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Harleen. Almost a replay of the previous shot. She hung back into the crease and pulled the short delivery to the cow corner fence

22:43 (IST)

FOUR! Shorter delivery from Poonam, outside off and Harleen moved across to drag it from off to deep midwicket fence

22:41 (IST)

After 17 overs, Trailblazers 112/4 (Deepti Sharma 29, Harleen Deol 12)

Radha Yadav continues after the break. Deepti and Harleen are trying out a lot of shots around the park but boundaries are tough to come by here. Still, they got nine from the over. Jemimah had an opportunity to get Harleen out on the last delivery at deep extra cover but she put down a difficult catch, but surely cut off a boundary. 35 needed now. 

22:34 (IST)

After 16 overs, Trailblazers 103/4 (Deepti Sharma 27, Harleen Deol 5)

Harmanpreet back into the attack and an expensive over by the skipper. 12 from it. Harleen Deol cuts the outside off delivery for a boundary on the off to get off the mark. Deepti slams one down the ground to add another boundary. 100 up for Trailblazers. 44 more needed. Timeout taken. 

22:32 (IST)

FOUR! Another boundary in the over, Fuller delivery and Deepti tonks it over Harmanpreet's head to add four more runs

22:31 (IST)

FOUR! Harleen Deol gets off the mark with a cut shot to beat the fielders on off. The delivery was short and outside off. 

22:30 (IST)

After 15 overs, Trailblazers 91/4 (Deepti Sharma 21)

Trailblazers lose another wicket. More than that the run rate is a bigger worry. 56 is needed from the last five overs and timing the shots look like a tough job on this pitch. Trailblazers got five singles in the over but Hemalatha got out on the last ball trying to punch a delivery that was just back of a length. Bhatia did very well behind the stumps.

Women’s T20 challenge 2020, LIVE SCORE, Trailblazers vs Supernovas latest updates: Harmanpreet back into the attack and an expensive over by the skipper. 12 from it. Harleen Deol cuts the outside off delivery for a boundary on the off to get off the mark. Deepti slams one down the ground to add another boundary. 100 up for Trailblazers. 44 more needed. Timeout taken.

Preview: Smriti Mandhana-led Trailblazers will look to seal a spot in the final of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2020 when they take on defending champions Supernovas on Saturday. Harmanpreet Kaur-led Supernovas succumbed to a five-wicket defeat to Velocity in their opening match, while Trailblazers had it easy, with their bowlers starring in a low-score one-sided affair against Mithali Raj and Co. Supernovas now find themselves in a must-win situation.

A win for Trailblazers would see them confirm title clash against Velocity, while a Supernovas’ victory could mean Velocity be out of the final due to their superior Net Run Rate (NRR). As a result, Velocity would be backing Trailblazers to win this contest.

Chamari Athapaththu’s knock of 44 and Harmanpreet’s 31 off 27 were probably the only positives for Supernovas in their opener against Velocity. The other batswomen, including Jemimah Rodrigues, will have to up their game in Sharjah, a ground that has seen quite a lot of high scores in the ongoing IPL.

Meanwhile, England’s Sophie Ecclestone did most of the damage for Trailblazers against Velocity, picking up four wickets to see off their opponents for just 47. In their reply, Trailblazers eased to victory, chasing the target in just 7.5 overs to win by nine wickets, as Deandra Dottin (29*) and Richa Ghosh (13*) remained unbeaten.
