Nebraska Cricket Club has reached the semifinals of the Midwest Twenty/20 championships held in Topeka and hosted by Kansas Cricket Club during the weekends of Sep 29th and Oct 6th. NCC plays Kansas Cricket Club in semi finals at 8:30am on Oct. 6 in Topeka, Kan.

After losing their first match on Saturday, NCC needed to win on Sunday to advance. Playing against Cerner, Kansas CC, NCC was chasing a small but difficult target of 131. Tight bowling saw the asking rate climb to almost 10 an over with five overs left. But Bhaskar Krishna turned the match around with a string of slog sweeps for six, turning the match upside down in the 17th and 18th overs and allowing NCC to pass the target with 5 balls to spare, winning the match by 3 wickets and sending them through to the second weekend. NCC will now face Topeka and then play the winner of Kansas City and Iowa State.

Following teams are the semi finalists:

Pool A:
1)Topeka
2)Iowa State

Pool B:
1)Kansas City
2)Nebraska
