Mithali Raj's Velocity overcame some anxious moments late in the innings before registering a three-wicket win over Trailblazers to keep the race to final in the inaugural Women's T20 Challenge alive, on Wednesday. After their five-wicket win over Supernovas in the tournament-opener on Tuesday, a victory over Velocity would have sealed Trailblazers' place in Saturday's summit clash. In the final league match on Thursday, Velocity will play Supernovas and the outcome of that game will decide the finalists. Opting to field, left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht (2/13) and New Zealand's Amelia Kerr (2/21) shared four wickets between them to keep Trailblazers under check from the word go. By virtue of this win, Velocity are on top of the standings just ahead of Trailblazers with Supernovas yet to open their account.
