TBZ VS VLC Match Highlights: Despite claiming a win against Velocity by a score of 16 runs on Thursday at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune for the third match of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022, Trailblazers clinched their spot in the competition finals. Here we can have full details about TBZ VS VLC Match Highlights.
Velocity chose to start the game with the Trailblazers to bat. Sabbhineni Meghana, who began the innings for Trailblazers, got off to a strong start by hitting 2 fours in the opening over. Despite this, Smriti Mandhana, the team’s captain, was taken out for a one-run, early in the innings by Kate Cross, who was looking for her breakthrough wicket. After getting off to a good start with the bat and joining Meghana at the box, Jemimah Rodrigues helped raise Velocity’s score up to 47/1 by the time the powerplay was done.
In the wake of Radha Yadav’s bowling, Meghana kept up her aggressive approach and hit the first 6 of the innings. Both Meghana and Rodrigues showed a good attitude with the bat during the 2nd wicket’s fifty-run stand. Meghana achieved her half-century off 32 balls, and the Trailblazers were doing well with 86-1 on the board at the 10-over level. Rodrigues provided Meghana with excellent assistance from the other extreme, and she completed her fifty in the 14th over, which was just about the time that they achieved the hundred-run partnership for the 2nd wicket.
Following Meghana being captured by Kate Cross, Sneh Rana ended the massive partnership by hitting the winning run. Just after Trailblazers batsman was knocked back by Rodrigues, she kept up a steady striking rate in order to prevent the momentum from being lost. Hayley Matthews, the next batter, hit four straight fours before Rodrigues was ultimately caught off the bowling from Ayabonga Khakhra.
Matthews and Sophia Dunkley delivered an outstanding cutting edge for the Trailblazers, who had a mark of 168-3 prior to their contributions. Trailblazers scored a respectable total of 190/4 in the first innings, despite the fact that both hitters were bowled by Simran Bahadur’s bowling in the penultimate over of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022 match.
Although Meghana and Jemimah Rodrigues performed very well at the box to help the Trailblazers to a 16-run win, Team Velocity was able to advance to the championship game because they had a higher run rate. Velocity was hoping to win by chasing 191, and their openers, Shafali Verma and Yatika Bhatia got the team off to a fantastic start. After three overs, Velocity was 32 without loss of wicket.
Notwithstanding this, Velocity was unable to score either of the openers on the powerplay. Whereas Shafali Verma was bowled before wicket by Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Bhatia was dismissed by Salma Khatun by rattling the stumps.
At the conclusion of the powerplay, the new hitter for Velocity, KP Navgire, made her presence known by hitting two massive sixes, bringing the score to 68-2. While playing 2nd supportive to Navgire, Laura Wolvaardt retained the form she had shown in the recent game and helped to stitch together an important fifty-run stand. While Wolvaardt was trapped behind off of Poonam Yadav’s bowling. Smriti Mandhana drew a brilliant catch from the bowling of Gayakwad, which led to the dismissal of the following batter, who was the team’s captain, Deepti Sharma.
Navigate, who was batting at the opposite end, hit sixes in a row and celebrated her fifty milestones in dramatic fashion. At the conclusion of 15 overs, Velocity was 143 for four when Renuka Singh got the wicket of Sneh Rana. Velocity’s captain, Smriti Mandhana, then took her 2nd catch of the day. In rapid succession, Velocity suffered two more wickets to depart. Navgire’s magnificent effort of 69 runs was ended by Sophia Dunkley, while Radha Yadav was bowled out by Jemimah Rodrigues.
The first wicket that Hayley Matthews took was that of Simran Bahadur, which she did by disturbing the stumps. Poonam Yadav made a brilliant catch to protect 24 runs in the last over, and the Trailblazers went on to win by 16 runs. Despite this, Trailblazers blazed their way into the finals since they finished with a superior NRR.
