NC vs SS Match Prediction & Analysis
This has been a brilliant inaugural edition of the Big Cricket League with fans from across the globe tuning into the potent mix of retired marquee international players mixing it with some future stars and emerging talent in Indian cricket.
As a result, we expect plenty of interest in both this semi-final and the other which takes place ahead of this fixture.
Southern Spartans versus Northern Challengers was the opening game of the competition when no-one really knew how the tournament would turn out and it was the latter who came out on top in that clash. However, this is with the prize of a final up for grabs and few pundits are predicting anything other than a close contest come Saturday!

TEAMS PREVIEW
Northern Challengers Preview
When these sides met in Match 1 of the tournament, there was plenty of nervous excitement in the air but this time we expect a business-like focus from both teams.
Northern Challengers have the advantage of winning that fixture back on December 12th, and they will be looking for the same players to step up with big performances to book themselves a place in Sunday's Big Cricket League Final!
Nine days ago, it was skipper Shikhar Dhawan who starred with the bat, hitting 86 runs from 43 balls and it has been no surprise to see him continue this level throughout the tournament. Bipul Sharma was Northern Challengers' top bowler in the last head to head.
Northern Challengers Predicted Playing XI:
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Vishal Prasad, Rajat Singh, Gurkareet Singh Mann, Samiullah Shinwari, Bipul Sharma, Babar Ali, Anureet Singh, Sandeep Chauhan, Kundan Kumar, Bhuneshwar Pratap-Singh

Northern Challengers Actual Playing XI:
Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Shikhar Dhawan, Upul Tharanga, Vishal Prasad, Bipul Sharma, Babar Ali, Anureet Singh, Rajat Singh, Samiullah Shinwari, Prakash Naskar, Kundan Kumar, Siddarth Kaul
Southern Spartans Preview
Although Southern Spartans lost the opening game of the tournament against Northern Challengers, they actually put in a strong performance and have also shown plenty of character across their remaining four matches to book a place in the semi-final.
They were able to hit the Northern Challengers bowling attack for 203 runs across their 20 overs and if one of Solomon Mire, Shrestha, captain Suresh Raina, Aman Khan and Abhimanyu Mithun, all of who made scores from 27 to 49, could go on and make a big total, then the game could easily shift in their favour.
With the ball, Asmut Fayaz comes into this game with confidence after dismissing both openers in the Match 1 loss.
Southern Spartans Predicted Playing XI:
Faiz Fazal, Solomon Mire, Shrestha, Suresh Raina (c), Aman Khan, Abhimanyu Mithun, Abhishek Kumar Yadav, Abdul Rehman, Milin Yadav, Abhishek Sakuja, Asmut Fayaz

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Surat has not only put on an excellent first edition of the Big Cricket League but has also delivered fine weather throughout. This semi-final looks set to be played under cloudless skies with the temperature up at 30 degrees.
NC vs SS Pitch Report
It has been a batter's dream to play at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium with plenty of big scores, individual and team, racked up over the tournament. We expect to see another high scoring classic in this semi-final.
Toss: To Bowl
Northern Challengers triumphed after bowling first in the last head to head between the sides so we expect both teams to come to the toss wanting to bowl first.
NC vs SS
Winning Prediction
Both teams come into this game in good form and we expect those watching on TV as well as in the stadium to be treated to another exciting game. However, Shikhar Dhawan proved to be the difference last time and we predict he will be again, which means that Northern Challengers will progress to the final.
We are backing Northern Challengers to win!
