However, Tanya Bhatia alongside her skipper Harmanpreet Kaur added 82 runs for the fourth wicket to bring their team back into the game.
In the end, Supernovas posted 150/5 in 20 overs, courtesy of a whirlwind knock of 71 runs off 51 deliveries from their skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.

Verma was taking away the game from the Supernovas quickly with her big-hitting approach and they needed something special to stay alive in the game. That special came from her skipper as Kaur plucked an unbelievable catch to send Shafali back to the pavilion.
On the 4th delivery of the 10th over, Deandra Dottin bowled a short delivery outside the off stump from round the wicket angle. Shafali Verma went hard on the cut but the ball caught the outside edge instead. The ball went towards the short third-man, where Harmanpreet Kaur flew towards her left to complete a stunning catch.
