The third season of the Jio Women’s T20 Challenge commenced at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE and the first clash took place between last year’s finalists Supernovas and Velocity.
The entire match was thrilling and was full of ups and downs after Mithali Raj led Velocity opted to bowl first against Harmanpreet Kaur’s Supernova post winning the toss.
Even after a jittery start, the Velocity team overpowered their rivals and South African Sune Luus showed her magic by going for an unbeaten score of 37 runs from 21 balls.
