A big semi-final on the cards and as is the age-old adage of batting first and piling on a score in a final, both teams will be looking to pay heed to this wisdom. Anything over 100 can be challenging to chase and therefore the team batting second will have to pull a houdini act to get over the line. So strap your seat belts back on, grab that popcorn and enjoy the one and a half hour exciting roller-coaster ride.

Venue Details and Pitch Report

Ostrapark, Dresden
The Dresden pitch was seeing a lot of sub-100 scores but the introduction of BSV Britannia on the third day ensured a change in that trend. BSV Britannia piled on two 100-plus scores in their first three matches and showed that the pitch has no demons. Hitting through the line and focusing on timing is the key here.
According to Accuweather, the knockouts are expected to be marred by weather troubles as thunderstorms and rains are predicted. The maximum temperature will be 28 degree centigrade and the chances of precipitation is 55%

The 2nd and 3rd placed team will be going toe-to-toe with eacch other in the second semi final. Both teams have been fairly consistent in the tournament. Dresden had won the last time these two teams meet in the tournament by a solitary run and that shows how competitive these two teams. Expect another clash going right down the wire here in Dresden in the second semi-final.
BSC REHBERGE THUMP RC DRESDEN BY 7 WICKETS WITH 22 BALLS TO SPARE
That Ladies and Gentlemen, brings us to the end of the game as BSCR beat RCD and advance to the final. Coming into the chase,BSCR started off on a positive note. They tried to make a statement at the start of the innings trying to go big after every delivery and ended up losing wickets in quick succession. Batsmen went back to pavilion scoring cameos. However it was Imran Chaudry who held his nerve scoring off easy deliveries and rotating the strike well and took his team to the finals. That is it from us here at Sportskeeda, viewers. We hope you enjoyed our coverage of the game. Stay tuned for the finals of this coveted tournament as we are eager to bring you live-action. Till then, this is Manoj Sarma and my partner Sameer Deodhar signing off . Stay Safe!
