The knockout stages of the BC Cricket Championship are finally upon us

The first semi-final of the BC Cricket Championship sees the Vancouver Vibes taking on the Victoria Waves at the Meadowbrook Park in Ottawa, Canada.

While the Vibes finished at the top of the points table with 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 games at a net run rate of 2.084, the Waves had contrasting fortunes as they finished 4th in the points table with 2 wins and 2 losses in their 4 games.

The group stage encounter between the two sides, however, tells a different story. The Waves put up a massive total of 226 and restricted the Vibes to 202 to win the first game of the tournament by 24 runs.

Although the Vibes topped the table, they will be wary of an opposition that has already beaten them.

Pitch Report:

Although the first game between the two sides was a very high-scoring encounter, this game shouldn't be one owing to the fact that is the 11th match of the tournament. The pitch will show signs of wear and tear, and with this being a knockout game, both teams would look to opt to bat upon winning the toss.

A total anywhere around 150 should be a defendable one.
