That's all we have for you from commentary. Thank you for your company. Goodnight.

I played my normal game. It's a must win game and I had to score runs. I am a senior player in the side. So I just went out there and played my normal game, Player of the Match Chamari Atapattu says. I want to improve cricket all around the world so I do share my knowledge with my team-mates. I was a little worried about the last three-four overs. Finally we won, so it was all good. We are a champion side. We know how to win games.

Dinuka K: "End of the first round of Women's T20 Challenge. Highest runs, highest individual score, most number of 6s, most number of 4s, maximum 6s in an innings, best batting average etc and all the batting records of the tournament held by Chamari Atapattu "

It was very close, but hats off to our bowlers. Finally they withstood the pressure and bowled according to the field, Supernovas captain Harmanpreet Kaur says. All the girls wanted to win and it showed in the end. The way we started, we were thinking of 150+ but what we got was a defendable total because it was helping the spinners if you bowl a little short and give them singles rather than boundaries. I know this total wasn't so big. We had to bowl three good overs. Finally after a good partnership, we were able to get breakthroughs and they got us back in the game. Poonam bowled only one over because the lefties were batting. That's the only reason. Today there was not much dew. In the first game, there was a lot of dew. Today hardly any. We will try our best. After winning, our confidence is high and hope we do it again in the final

Didn't have anything running through my head. Just bowl according to the captain's plan, says Supernovas' left-arm spinner Radha Yadav about bowling that splendid last over. You have to ask her [if she is the captain's go to player] but it's my dream to play well in those situations and execute well in those situations.

Definitely. The way it went in the last two or three overs, I think the girls did really well to get us close. Nevertheless, the way Deepti and Harleen took it to the last ball, it was a great effort, says Trailblazers captain Smriti Mandhana. There was quite a bit of dew around. I saw that after the first innings. Would have been difficult for their spinners. We were looking to win the match. We really didn't think about what the qualification scenarios were. We didn't think about which team we'd play. Hopefully we can get the batter of them in the final. The way our bowlers bowled in the first match, this match is a wake up call for them and the fielding unit. I think we gave them 15-20 runs extra in the fielding and we'll work hard on that before the final.

Sowmya : "This match has made women like me sit & watch till the last ball. Surely, the women's game has grown leaps and bounds!!!! "

BRIJESH GAUTAM: "At last after the long lockdown and no bollywood release, we got 'Selman' and 'Deol' in action!!"

Sriram: "While thesr two teams deserve to be in finals you got to feel for Velocity! Poor scheduling and they are out. BCCI hopefully looks at that and see their mistake"

Parishi : "This game is an answer to all those criticising the women's game for lacking enthusiasm and power hitting .... went right down to the wire. One poor game should not form such baseless opinions. Hopefully we can have another cracker of a match in the final."

Yadav to Ecclestone, 1 leg bye, and there it is. Supernovas are in the final. Yadav shifts over the wicket and cramps the right-hander for room. And even though she tries to free her arms, she misses the ball and gets hit on the pad. Excellent over under immense pressure.

Ecclestone, Trailblazers' bowling hero walks out. Her team needs four to win off one ball. Supernovas have to keep it under that to try and make the final

Yadav to Deol, OUT, taken at cover! Yadav has done it. She's putting her team in the final! Deol comes down the track to try and find the off side boundary. Yadav pulls her length back. Deol goes for the shot anyway. She has to reach way outside off. She doesn't have the timing. And once she's caught she buckles over. She believed she could do this.

Yadav to Deol, 2 runs, steps out and slaps a full toss to the left of the sweeper. That boundary they need isn't coming

Sriram: "@Rishi - while i agree Aussie and English stars would have added a lot of quality its harsh to say these games lack the buzz. Within the limitations these girls have exceeded expectations. But for 1 game the rest have been of good quality cricket"

Monsy: "This tournament may have lacked a few things but quality definitely isn't one of them. Excellent display of athleticism by the ladies! "

Mini conference between Kaur and the bowler.

Yadav to Deol, 2 runs, goes for the sweep, gets an inside edge and it wanders away through vacant fine leg. That's the fifty partnership. Could be a match-winning one.
