Both Stefanie Taylor and Harleen Deol are looking comfortable against the Velocity bowlers but the approach is not working. The runs are not coming for a long time but anything under 140 will be below par on this surface. Trailblazers 67/2
16:15 hrs IST
Harleen steady
Solid show from Harleen Deol as she is not taking any risks but at the same time, she has made sure that the scorecard is not stagnant. The right-hander played quite well in the first match against Supernovas and with Stefanie Taylor, she can take her team to a good total. Trailblazers 61/2

Toss update
Mithali wins the toss and Velocity will bowl first.
Mithali Raj - We will bowl first. The wicket is slower, but it’s better to chase a target down. The batters will take some time to play their shots, but it’s a good wicket and will hold up nicely. Jahanara and Devika miss out’
Smriti Mandhana - I wanted to bat first, looks a bit dry and might get drier in the scond innings, we want to be safe. If it was an evening match, even I would have bowled first. Jhulan has a niggle and she’s been rested, Bharati replaces her.
