Scorer: M Venkat Raghav | Commentator: Ekanth

Two out of the three teams, Supernovas and Velocity, now have a win. Trailbrazers need a big to make it to the finals. We have to wait till Thursday to find if they can. For now, the men's IPL is on and you can follow it here. It's goodbye from me, our scoring-commentating allrounders - Thilak and M Venkat Raghav.

After a big win yesterday, Supernovas were found lacking, particularly in the field. 150 was too small a score. When Shafali and Wolvaardt get going, what isn't?! Shafali's LBW given out was overturned on review. So, the luck was not on their side.

Deepti Sharma, Velocity Captain: The team's performance was excellent. (On using spin for 13 overs) I thought it was a slow, turning track. But the pacers did well, particularly Cross. That gave us a good platform. Sneh Rana taught a step to Kate Cross. That's where the celebration comes from. Everyone had a personal target, chasing 150 gives us confidence. Shafali's innings and Cross' spell gives a lot of confidence.

Shafali Verma, 51 (33) for Velocity: We wanted our batters to stay in the middle and put away loose balls. That was the plan. In the first innings, I noticed where the areas of scoring and judged the wind direction as well. (On touch shots) I have worked on them, I've tried a couple of them. The wicket was good and enjoyed batting. I think one ball at a time, so I was not focusing on any. (On being asked what the shots she's been practicing are) You'll find out in the next game. (laughs)

Harmanpreet Kaur, POTM and Supernovas Captain: We didn't do well in the field. We can't let go of chances and win. We started well in the first six and managed to finish well too. But the fielding had to be good to bring it all together. Last night's win was good. We'll have to watch where the next game goes. We'll have to improve to get back on track.

6:41 pm: Both batters leave with smiles. Both teams shake hands and look in good spirits. The win came on the back of excellent batting from Shafali Varma up top, Wolvaardt took time but once she got going, she flourished.
