Rodrigues, Wolvaardt spearheaded Superchargers' innings
Earlier, the Northern Superchargers rode on brilliant half-century from India's pocket-sized dynamo Jemimah Rodrigues (51 off 32) and a 39-ball 49 from Laura Wolvaardt to post 143/5.
Australian wicketkeeper-opener Alyssa Healy looked threatening during the course of her 7-ball stay as she hammered 2 fours and a couple of sixes to race her way to 15.
However, Rodrigues and Wolvaardt came to their rescue with a 66-run stand. Rodrigues was eventually dismissed for a well-made 51 but Wolvaardt ensured she stayed till the last ball to take her side to a competitive total.
