The winner of the encounter between Ariana Cricket Club and Ariana AKIF is more than likely to emerge as the group topper, who would go on to play Karlskrona Cricket Club in the second semi-final of the Malmo T10 League 2020.

The second-placed team in Group B would cross swords with Malmohus Cricket Club, the Group A toppers, in the first semi-final on August 7. The Shield final of the Malmo T10 League 2020 would see Evergreen Cricket Club face the team that finishes third in Group B after today's encounters.
