What should have been a comprehensive win was nearly thrown away by the impetuousness of the middle order as they got closer to the target. The win with two overs to spare, however, should help their net run-rate despite the drama towards the end. It should give them some breathing space in their match against Supernovas. After a miserly bowling performance, the chase was set up by 15-year old Shafali Verma and Danielle Wyatt played some gorgeous shots through the off side. They were also aided by some shoddy fielding as the Trailblazers put down as many as four chances.
