Pune: The Trailblazers of Smriti Mandhana have created history by scoring the highest-ever score in the history of the Women’s T20 Challenge event , which is presently in its fourth and final season.

Trailblazers played a spectacular inning to set a mammoth target of 191 for Deepti Sharma’s Velocity to chase down, with S. Meghana and Jemimah Rodrigues rising to the occasion and scoring half-centuries apiece to make this piece of history.

The previous high score by a team was 163, which Harmanpreet Kaur’s Supernovas achieved against Trailblazers on the opening day of the 2022 Women’s T20 Challenge on Monday.

S. Meghana hit a career-high 73 off 47 balls before being bowled out by Sneh Rana, who was caught by Kate Cross. Jemimah, on the other hand, scored 66 from 44 balls before being bowled out by Khaka and caught by Sneh Rana. Despite the fact that skipper Smriti Mandhana only scored one run, Jemimah and S.

Meghana formed a lovely combination to enable the team to a high score of 190 on the board with only 5 wickets lost. However, the Velocity team will face Supernovas in the finals.
