SHARJAH: South African Sune Luus conjured up an unbeaten 37 under pressure as Velocity overcame a jittery start to stun defending champions Supernovas by five wickets in the opening match of the Women’s T20 Challenge here on Wednesday.
Chasing a modest 127, Velocity were 38 for three inside nine overs but Luus took them over the line with her calm-headed 37-run knock that came off 21 balls with four fours and a six.
Luus also shared a crucial 51-run stand with Sushma Verma (34) to repair the innings after the early setbacks.
