- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 fuller in length. She comes forward and seems a little taken aback. Decides to go through the stroke anyway and chips it in the air to cover. Caught by Khaka. She could've defended it if she was unsure 4/13.5 ill-advised stroke! Short of good length and flighted outside the off stump. Dottin comes down the track and looks to slog it away. All she manages is a top edge to the keeper standing up to the stumps. 18/32.3 was it the swing or was it the lack of pace that did her in? Fuller delivery on the stumps. She is looking to slog it away. Probably made her mind up to play the stroke. So, she went through with the stroke and the resulting edge flies to Wolvaardt at backward point. Both the wickets had the batters going on with the stroke rather than adjusting late 12/214.2 full toss down the leg stump line. Off the keeper's pad to the leg side but Taniya wants a single and is sent back. There was no way she could've beat Yastika Bhatia's throw 100/418.6 yorks herself as she was looking to play it with soft hands, probably in an attempt to retain the strike. Flighted delivery on the leg stump line, turns, beats the batter and hits the stumps 138/5Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Priya Punia, 0.3 ov), 2-12 (Harleen Deol, 2.3 ov), 3-18 (Deandra Dottin, 3.5 ov), 4-100 (Taniya Bhatia, 14.2 ov), 5-138 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.4 Stunning catch at short third man by Harmanpreet! It came after a back of length ball outside off was going away with the angle again. Shafali tried to glide it and got it fine. But Harman leapt to her left with both hands, and the ball stuck in one. Dottin was thrilled as was Harman 80/31.3 one down! Pooja gets Chantham. After bowling a couple of back of length deliveries she dangles carrot outside off, Chantham gets a big stride forward to the drive through the cover but was undone by the swing. The ball pitched on off and kept swinging away to catch the outside edge 6/17.2 shuffled across way too much for length ball, clips the pad and rolls onto the stumps after beating the flick 69/2Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL151/3 (18.2 Overs, RR: 8.23)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Natthakan Chantham, 1.3 ov), 2-69 (Yastika Bhatia, 7.2 ov), 3-80 (Shafali Verma, 9.4 ov)

All Match NewsLegspinner Maya Sonawane is the Paul Adams clone you've got to see to believe
The spitting image of the former South Africa wristspinner in how she bowls, Sonawane comes from humble roots in small-town Maharashtra
Quick fifties from Verma and Wolvaardt give Velocity comfortable opening win
Harmanpreet's 51-ball 71 not enough to take Supernovas to a safe total after their powerplay had ended on 29 for 3
Harmanpreet and Shafali's pyrotechnics give brand India another boost
Their respect for each other is endearing, but the fire in the contest between the two batters was anything but
