Third-placed Derbyshire Falcons reaches their first-ever Finals day by demolishing Gloucestershire in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Now they would take on Essex Eagles in the second Semi-finals at Edgbaston on September 21.
On the other hand, Essex Eagles were lying at the fourth spot of the south table but things got shifted in their favor and Ravi Bopara’s bowling and late hitting saw them chase 160 to beat Lancashire in the quarter-final.
This is the first time when Essex would see themselves in the finals of the tournament.
The match is set to begin at 7:00 PM IST.
