Preview:

Two-time and defending champions Supernovas will kick off their Women’s T20 Challenge 2020 campaign 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 Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 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.

Shafali Verma has the potential to clear the Sharjah boundaries with ease. However, the long break and the slow pitch might work against her. She will be a risky option for captaincy in this match.
