Sluggish inning
Seems like Supernovas are running away with the match. Danielle Wyatt's duck, #MithaliRaj's sluggish knock haven't helped Velocity's case at all.#SPNvVEL #WomensT20Challenge

Mithali Raj should be named as Mithali Gill .... FFS even Gill would play more faster than her and contribute more to team .
