be played between Supernovas and Velocity at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in
Sharjah.

PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports
Network. Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.
Preview:
Two-time and defending champions Supernovas will kick
off their Women’s T20 Challenge 2020 campaign in fantasy cricket leagues against
Velocity in Sharjah. Both teams had met in the summit clash of the previous
season at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. The Supernovas chased 122 runs
successfully against Velocity to retain their title.
The conditions will be a bit challenging for all
players this year. For the first time, they had to undergo a quarantine period
before playing cricket. Plus, the Indian women’s players have been away from
the field since March 2020. It will be interesting to see how they perform in
this mini tourney.
SUP vs VEL Weather Report for Match 1
The skies will stay clear during the match time in
Sharjah. The temperature will loom around 29 degrees Celsius as it will be a
pleasant atmosphere for the women’s game.
Pitch Condition/Report:
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium hosted quite a few IPL
games this season. Initially, the teams crossed the 200-run landmark easily,
but the pitch slowed down as the tournament progressed. The shorter boundaries
should still favour the batters in this contest.

SUP vs VEL Top Picks for Today’s Match:
Mithali Raj had scored 52 runs against the Supernovas
in the last season. She remained unbeaten on 40* in one of the matches.
Chamari Atapattu was in sensational form during the
ICC Women’s T20 World Cup earlier this year. The islander had hit a
half-century against the hosts at Perth.
Harmanpreet Kaur did not have an eventful World Cup
campaign Down Under. Still, she has a ton of experience under her belt and can
be backed to lead the Supernovas from the front.
Danielle Wyatt had registered a couple of fifty-plus
scores batting for the Southern Vipers in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She
seems in good nick ahead of the Women’s T20 Challenge.
