Women’s T20 Challenge 2022: VEL vs TRA Head to Head, Playing XI, Preview, Where to Watch on TV, Online and Live Streaming Details

Velocity are scheduled to face Trailblazers in the third match of this year’s Women’s T20 Challenge on May 26 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium (MCA) in Pune. Deepti Sharma’s Velocity will look to continue their winning momentum after defeating the Supernovas. A win over Trailblazers can help Velocity to grab the top spot on the table before heading to the final.

On the other hand, defending champions Trailblazers are yet to open their account as they faced a heavy defeat against the Supernovas in the opening match. Smriti Mandhana and her girls will look to overturn the tide in their favour. But for that, a huge win is required as their net run rate is very low (-2.450).                   

Pitch and Conditions

The MCA wicket is known as a good, high-scoring batting wicket. However, as many IPL games and the previous two games of this tournament have been played here already this season, the wicket may get slow. Velocity chased down the target of 151 easily in the second match within 19 overs a day before.
