"There was help for the spinners on the wicket so we wanted to target the medium pacers while batting. A total of 150 was our primary target, but we could've done better at the death. We were positive that we'll be able to defend this total. We are very to reach the finals," said Tapan captain Shahbaz Ahmed.
In the second semi-finals, Bagan's spinners restricted Town Club to as experienced campaigner Gitimoy Basu made a fighting 41 off 40 balls.

"Our bowlers bowled really well, got wickets early and we didn't let them make big partnerships. While chasing I knew a good start will make the match easy for the next batters and when I settled I wanted to finish the match," said Vivek who finished the match in style with a boundary off Mohammed Kaif.
