Women’s T20 Challenge Final: Wolvaardt-Simran almost PULL-OFF a STUNNING win for Velocity to provide great advertisement for Women’s IPL in front of BCCI top-brass: Watch Highlights
Needing 48 to win from the last three overs with only 2 wickets in hand, it was all but over for Velocity in their Women’s T20 Challenge Final against Supernovas. However, in a display of fine hitting, Laura Wolvaardt and Simran Bahadur kept Velocity in the hunt until the final ball of the game, only to fall short by 4 runs.
Wolvaardt began the carnage after she smashed Alana King for a maximum and reached her half-century, before Simran got in on the act to make it a 14-run over. Wolvaardt then smashed Pooja Vastrakar straight down the ground before Simran added two more to her name to make it a 17-run over.
Needing another 17 from the last over, Wolvaardt began the over with a gigantic six, but Sophie Ecclestone held her nerve to help Supernovas seal a last ball thriller.
