Playing in the semifinals, BLV Blasters recorded a fine five-wicket win over Trident Stallions in the truncated tie.

Trident ended with a score of 133/7 in the allotted 11 overs.

The two teams will not play for the trophy and a prize money cheque of ₹30 lakh. The runners-up team will take home a handsome amount of ₹15 lakh as well.
