The tournament moves into the most exciting stage with the first semifinal between Kolkata and Hobart Hurricanes in Hyderabad. Catch all the live cricket score and live updates of the match here (LIVE SCORECARD )
Kolkata can't put a foot wrong at the moment. Even if they do, they seem to find the individuals who turn things around in their favor. It is a clear sign of a champion team and now they have won 13 games in a row.
Kolkata bat very deep with the likes of Andre Russell coming in at no. 8 sometimes. The bowling has looked unflappable. The bowlers, especially spinners, seem to deliver the goods almost all the time without fail. Their ability to pick wickets at regular intervals, make them a threat to Hobart Hurricanes' dream to reach the CLT20 Final.
Hobart Hurricanes, however, have turned things around brilliantly after their opening defeat to Punjab and have won 3 on the trot. They now face a Herculean challenge to bring down mighty Kolkata. Their bowling has looked good so far with former Aussie pacers Ben Hilfenhaus and Doug Bollinger doing all the damage.
On such a big occasion, there are bound to be nerves and this is where the experienced players will have to guide the team through. It will be interesting to see who blinks first.
