Toss Supernovas chose to bat vs Trailblazers

Supernovas captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, won the toss and chose to bat in the opening match of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022. Harmanpreet said her side wanted “to bat freely” in the first game of the tournament, expecting the MCA Stadium pitch in Pune to be a good batting track.

However, Smriti Mandhana, the Trailblazers captain, was instead looking to bowl first, something which she eventually got to do despite losing the toss.

There was an even covering of grass on the surface, with not a lot of turn likely to be present for the spinners.

While Supernovas have won the Women’s T20 Challenge twice, Trailblazers are the defending champions, having clinched the title when it was last played in 2020.

Supernovas: 1 Deandra Dottin, 2 Priya Punia, 3 Sune Luus, 4 Harmanpreet Kaur, 5 Harleen Deol, 6 Yastika Bhatia, 7 Sophie Ecclestone, 8 Alana King, 9 V Chandu, 10 Pooja Vastrakar, 11 Meghna Singh

Trailblazers: 1 Smriti Mandhana, 2 Jemimah Rodrigues, 3 Poonam Yadav, 4 Hayley Mathews, 5 Sophia Dunkley, 6 Rajeshwari Gayakwad, 7 Arundhati Reddy, 8 Salma Khatun, 9 Renuka Singh, 10 Richa Ghosh, 11 Sharmin Akter
