Supernovas vs Velocity: The Finals of the Women’s T20 Challenge is ahead, and this could be the last time the tournament is played with talks of a Women’s IPL taking place constantly increasing. All three sides finished on equal points, but a superior run-rate for Velocity helped them edge to second, over the Trailblazers.
Velocity will now go up against the Supernovas, a side they beat comfortably in their first game this season. Whlie Velocity did win comfortably, they aren’t too far ahead and the game promises to be a cracker, despite the superior middle-order strength possessed by the Velocity side.

Venue: MCA Stadium, Pune
The weather and skies are absolutely clear ahead of the Supernovas vs Velocity game, with no chance of rain throughout the fixture.
The Pune track has been a little tough to chase on with the surface playing slow, and acting a little tough for the new batters. Given the slowness and the pressure of a final, the side batting first should come in with a strong chance of winning.
Deandra Dottin, Priya Punia, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Sune Luus, Harleen Deol, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Pooja Vastrakar, Sophie Ecclestone, Alana King, Mansi Joshi, Meghna Singh
Yastika Bhatia (wk), Laura Wolvaardt, KP Navgire, Sushma Verma, Nattakn Chantam, Deepti Sharma (c), Sneh Rana, Ayabonga Khaka, Kate Cross, Radha Yadav, Maya Sonawane
Both sides are likely to remain unchanged for the Finals.
Kiran Prabhu Navgire
Kiran Prabhu Navgire came up with an explosive performance in her previous game, almost taking the game away from the opposition single-handedly. She has spoken about being a huge Dhoni fan before the tournament, and about how she would like to emulate him, and with five sixes in a powerful innings, she is surely doing a wonderful job, living up to her words.

Deandra Dottin
Deandra Dottin showed a lot of heart in the World Cup. She batted aggressively and took the ball when her side needed her, even if she was injured. She is a wonderful talent and a strong character, and loves the big stage, which is why she will be a huge threat in the Finals.
Both teams have some explosive players and tricky bowlers to negotiate. However, in a big game, middle-order strength is important and that is an aspect which could put Velocity ahead in the Finals.
Match Prediction: Velocity will win the match.
