Earlier in the game, the Supernovas opted to bat after winning the toss and got a flying start from Chamari Atapattu. The Sri Lankan smashed a fine half ton and added 89 for the opening wicket with Punia. However, once she was dismissed, Supernovas failed to get the final flourish and were stopped for 146. With the ball for the Trailblazers, Jhulan Goswami was the pick of the lot as she scalped a wicket and also conceded just 17 runs in her quota of 4 overs. Stay tuned for the presentation...
The Trailblazers started the run chase on a high with Dottin playing aggressively. However, Mandhana from the other end found run-scoring difficult. Dottin was removed by her West Indies teammate Shakera Selman. She struck once again in the same over to leave the Trailblazers reeling. However, Deepti stayed out there and kept the runs coming in singles and doubles along with the occasional boundaries. Towards the final few overs, Deepti and Deol added quickfire 50 runs between them and almost snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. However, it was Radha who bowled a brilliant last over to secure a win and the place in the final for her team.
What a dramatic finish to the game! The Supernovas are through to the finals! Brilliant last over from Radha! Defending 10 off the last over against two well-set batters is a very, very difficult task but Radha has done it! The game looked well under the control of the Supernovas but the partnership between Deepti and Deol almost knocked them out but in the end, credit to Radha for holding her nerves and eventually winning it for the team.

LEG BYE! Tossed up on the pads, Sophie comes down and looks to play it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. It goes to the off side and Trailblazers take a leg bye. SUPERNOVAS WIN BY 2 RUNS AND QUALIFY FOR THE FINALS!
Who will walk out to face the last ball of the innings? It will be Sophie Ecclestone. They need four runs to win this. Does she hit the winning runs? Or does Radha Yadav keep her nerve and see this game home for her side?

OUT! CAUGHT! Way to go! It has gone down to the last ball in this game here. Full and outside off, Harleen comes down the track again. She strokes it uppishly but straight to Jemimah at cover-point. 4 runs needed in the last ball now. What a change of fortunes here. Super Over looks to be on the cards here, it they get three.

Flighted outside off, Harleen gets across and looks to sweep but mistimes it to fine leg. Gets a couple though. 8 runs needed in 5 balls now.
Radha Yadav to bowl the final over of the innings. Intense pressure. 10 needed off 6 balls. Also, there is a chance of a Super Over if they score just 9 runs. Who will hold their nerve?
