Deepti Sharma-led Velocity qualified for the final of the Women's T20 challenge despite suffering a 16-run defeat at the hands of Trailblazers.
Chasing a humungous total of 191 runs, highest in the history of the Women's T20 challenge, Velocity could only muster up 174 runs for the loss of nine wickets, but they did just enough to reach the final, at the expense of the defending champs, Trailblazers who had an inferior net run rate than Velocity.
Velocity will now face off against the Supernovas in the summit clash of this edition of the Women's T20 challenge, on Saturday, May 28.
