Harmanpreet Kaur’s Supernovas have defeated Velocity by four runs in the final of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022 at MCA Stadium in Pune. They rode on Deandra Dottin’s 44-ball 62 to post 165/7 after being asked to bat, and then restricted Velocity to 161/8, courtesy of an excellent bowling show.

Velocity captain Deepti Sharma has got confidence in his squad as she feels they can win the Championship by beating Supernovas in the 2022 Women's T20 Challenge final on Saturday. Notably, Velocity defeated Supernovas by seven wickets when the two sides went up against each other on Tuesday.

BCCI Treasurer Arun Dhumal revealed that the board allowed Women’s cricketers to partake in The Hundred in order to gain exposure, and added that the experience will come in handy during the World Cup. Dhumal further was hopeful of staging the Women’s T20 Challenge in the UAE, alongside IPL 2021.

In what comes as a big blow to women's cricket in India, as per Cricket.com reports, the Women’s T20 Challenge will not be taking place this year. There were expectations that the tournament will be organized in UAE alongside the IPL that will be resuming in the month of September-October.
