Trailblazers (118 for 8) defeated Supernovas (102 for 7) by 16 runs in the final of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2020 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium yesterday to win their maiden title.
Chasing an under-par 118 for 8 after Radha Yadav became the first player to take a 5-wicket haul in the history of the tournament, Supernovas remained in the hunt while captain Harmanpreet Kaur (30) and Shashikala Siriwardene (19) were at crease but they lost 4 for 28 in the last six overs to eventually finish on 102. Salma Khatun picked up two wickets, including Harmanpreet, in 19th over of the chase with Supernovas needing 28 runs to win off the last two overs, to seal the deal for Trailblazers.
