Semi-Finals: All the Action You Need to Know

If you’re hunting for the biggest semi-final moments, you’re in the right spot. We’ve pulled together the freshest scores, venue details and even the weather that could shape the games. Whether you’re a cricket fan, a tennis buff or an IPL follower, this guide gives you the low‑down you need before the finals arrive.

Recent Semi-Final Action

Cricket’s semi-finals have kept fans on the edge of their seats. Sanju Samson’s surge to 34th in the ICC T20I rankings shows the Indian side is in fine form ahead of any knockout stage. In the Asia Cup, India will open with Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, and the team’s depth hints at a strong semi‑final run.

IPL 2025 delivered a nail‑biter when KKR faced RCB at Eden Gardens. A looming rain threat forced the ground crew to prep covers and keep the DLS calculator ready. Fortunately, the skies cleared just enough for a full‑length match, but the weather reminder is crucial – a sudden downpour can change tactics in a split second.

On the tennis front, the Washington Open saw Emma Raducanu breeze past Naomi Osaka in straight sets, earning a spot in the semi‑finals. Raducanu’s dominant serve and clean return game hinted at a possible final showdown, and fans are already eyeing who she’ll meet next.

What to Watch for in the Finals

Weather can be a game‑changer, especially in Delhi‑NCR where IMD alerts frequently pop up during big matches. Keep an eye on yellow alerts for rain and wind, as they can affect both outdoor cricket and tennis courts. For IPL fans, a rain‑shortened game could swing the DLS method, so checking the latest forecast before heading to the stadium is smart.

Ticket availability and live‑stream options are also key. The Delhi airport chaos that delayed flights last week shows that travel plans can be hit hard by storms. If you’re flying in for a semi‑final, give yourself a buffer and check airline updates early.

Finally, player form matters. Sanju Samson’s strike rate of 152.39 in T20Is suggests he’ll be a threat in the late‑innings. In tennis, Raducanu’s first‑serve percentage stayed above 70%, a sign she’ll stay aggressive. Knowing who’s in top shape can help you predict the final scoreline.
