Match comparison
| Team | Recent performance | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| Warriors | 183-3 chasing Titans' 180-9 | Hermann 95; King 56 |
| Boland | 134-8 against Lions | Lost by five wickets |
Hermann and King carried a substantial chase
Jordan Hermann made 95 from 53 balls and JP King scored 56 from 33 as Warriors beat Titans by seven wickets. Their second-wicket partnership was worth 146, and Warriors finished on 183-3 after 18.4 overs.
It was a chase of 181 rather than a low target that allowed the batters to coast. Warriors also finished top of the table, setting up this meeting with fourth-placed Boland at Newlands.
Boland's spinners almost rescued 134
Boland made 134-8 against Lions in Paarl, with Ferisco Adams contributing 45 from 36 balls. They then reduced Lions to 25-3 and 49-5 before Mitchell van Buuren's unbeaten 60 carried the visitors home.
Imran Manack's three overs cost only eight runs and brought two wickets. That spell is the reason not to reduce Boland's chances to Wednesday's final score: they put the chase under serious pressure before losing with two balls left.
Warriors also have a wicket-taking contribution
Matthew Boast took 4-33 against Titans, while Kerwin Mungroo returned 2-26. Titans still made 180-9, but those wickets stopped them carrying a settled batting pair through the innings.
The semifinal moves both teams to Cape Town. Warriors' latest top-order partnership and their successful chase of a much larger total give them the stronger immediate case, with Boland's economical spin the main obstacle.
