However, Supernovas’ bowlers bounced back and Trailblazers lost a flurry of wickets. They lost 7 wickets for just 17 runs and ended up with a below par score of 118. As it turned out, even an underpar score was too much for the Supernovas as they fell short of 16 runs and eventually lost the match. A lot of credit for the win goes to the bowlers and the fielders who made sure Supernovas had to toil for each and every run in the chase.

In particular, a special effort by Nattakan Chantam on the field is winning the internet. The fans have been mesmerized by the special effort by Thailand’s Nattakan Chantam. In the second over of the Supernovas inning Sophie Ecclestone’s delivery took the outside edge off Jemimah Rodrigues bat and raced towards the boundary.

Nattakan Chantam dashed after the ball and just as the ball was going to touch the rope, she came up with a splendid dive to save two runs for her team. With disciplined bowling and brilliant fielding, Trailblazers restricted Supernovas to just 102, winning their maiden Women’s T20 Challenge trophy.
