History

2019:

Velocity was started in 2019 as part of the Women’s T20 Challenge’s plan to grow. The Women’s T20 Challenge had started in 2018. Mithali Raj was going to lead them, and Hayley Matthews, Danni Wyatt, and Amelia Kerr were going to play for them from other countries. Velocity beat Trailblazers by 3 wickets in their first match. Wyatt scored 46 runs, which was the most, and Ekta Bisht and Amelia Kerr each took two wickets. In their second game, Velocity lost to Supernovas by 12 runs, even though Wyatt scored 43 and Mithali Raj scored 40*.

Even though they came in second on Net Run Rate, Velocity still made it to the final. They played Supernovas again. This time, they batted first and scored 121/6, mostly because Sushma Verma (40*) and Amelia Kerr worked together to score 71 runs (36). Harmanpreet Kaur, captain of the Supernovas, scored 50 runs to bring them close, and Velocity lost when Radha Yadav hit the last ball over the boundary.

2020:

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the 2020 Women’s T20 Challenge to be put off, and it didn’t start until November. In their first game, Velocity beat Supernovas by 5 wickets with one ball left. Sune Luus scored 37*, which was the most, and Ekta Bisht took 3/22 with the ball. In their second game, though, against Trailblazers, Velocity lost by 9 wickets after being bowled out for 47 runs. Sophie Ecclestone of Trailblazers took 4/9 of their bowlers. Because of the damage to their Net Run Rate, Velocity didn’t make it to the final and came in last in their group.

2022:

In May 2022, the 2022 Women’s T20 Challenge took place. Deepti Sharma took over as captain of the team from Mithali Raj. In their first game of the tournament, Velocity beat Supernovas. Shafali Verma and Laura Wolvaardt each scored a half-century. They lost their second game against Trailblazers, but they were able to keep the damage to their Net Run Rate to a minimum so that they could still make it to the final. They had to fight Supernovas in the final. Even though Wolvaardt scored 65*, Velocity lost by four runs when they tried to beat 166.
