Supernovas held their nerve in a last-ball thriller to beat Trailblazers by two runs in the third match in Sharjah yesterday and with it, sealed a place in the Women’s T20 Challenge final, where they will face Trailblazers.
Trailblazers, needing 147 runs to win, made a solid start in the chase as Deandra Dottin and Smriti Mandhana took their team to 43/0 after 6 overs, with the right-hander doing the majority of the scoring. However, the partnership was broken in seventh over after Shakera Selman struck twice in the over. First, the right-arm pacer got Dottin out LBW and then disturbed the timber to dismiss Richa Ghosh.
