That's all from us tonight. Until next time, ciao!

Radha Yadav gets the Player of the Tournament award, for her eight wickets and excellent bowling at death for Supernovas.

Smriti Mandhana bags the Player of the Match award for her 68, on a wicket where no other batsman managed more than 30.

Trailblazers win by 16 runs!

And we have a new winner! Sophie Ecclestone had a generous 24 to defend off the final over and she does a splendid job of it. That 19th over really was a game-changer.

Triple-wicket over for Salma and that's probably the end of Supernovas' hopes

Khatun accounts for three in the penultimate over - including that of a struggling Anuja Patil and Supernovas' biggest hope, their captain Harmanpreet Kaur. And that should be it. Oh what a pick Khatun is proving to be!

And the team physio has come for Harman finally. She's been limping for a while now...

Shashi departs...

And Trailblazers have another wicket.. A couple of big overs in there allowed both Harmanpreet and Shashikala to settle in but Salma Khatun comes to Trailblazers' rescue. Shashikala was walking across tad too much and going for paddle sweeps. Khatun wants to curb that, and goes around the wicket. Cuts the pace down and drags her length back a bit, which induces the top edge. Easy catch for Jhulan Goswami at short fine leg. Crucial breakthrough this for Trailblazers. Here's Anuja Patil.

Update: Harmanpreet's been limping after running those quick singles. About two overs now... this should concern the Supernovas dugout.

wicket falls early, I'd like to see Pooja Vastrakar get a promotion as a pinch hitter. Give her a go with an eye on a similar long term role for India.

4 0

Right then, all set for live action.Mandhana and Dottin out in the middle. Khaka has the new ball.

TOSS: Supernovas have won the toss and they'll field first.

One change for Supernovas as Pooja Vastrakar comes in for Priya Punia. Trailblazers too have one change in their XI, wicketkeeper-bat Nuzhat Praween comes in for D Hemalatha.

Hello and welcome!

The final is upon us, in under a week from the tournament opener. Well, such is the format for now. Two-time champions Supernovas face off against Trailblazers for the title. Will they be able to register a hat-trick or will this competition see a new winner tonight? We'll find out soon enough.

Velocity missed out unfortunately, after being made to play their second game in less than 24 hours. They were bundled out for 47 by Trailblazers, who all but secured their final berth with that emphatic win. Defending champions Supernovas has to earn this spot though. Losing a final-over thriller to Velocity in the opener and getting a mighty scare by Trailblazers. But they've pulled through.
