Supernovas’ triumphant captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Saturday said that her side knew that the Women’s T20 Challenge final against Velocity could go down to the wire. In the end, Supernovas beat Velocity by four runs in a tense match to win their third title in four editions. But, it was not an easy win as Laura Wolvaardt threatened to almost single-handedly took Velocity within striking distance of a sensational win, with a blazing 65 not out off 40 balls.
“My heartbeat was normal,” she said when asked about the tense last minutes. English left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone conceded 12 runs in the final over from which Velocity needed 17 to pull off a stunning win. “I knew this game was going to be like that only and I was prepared for the game to go down to the wire. Great effort by the girls. We never felt we won the game and we knew anything could happen.”
