Both semi finals are closely poised.

In the first semi final, the lead has changed hands from session to session.

In the second semi final, India did well in the first two sessions, but one disastrous board in the third session saw them concede 16 imps and reduce their lead to just 16 imps.

We wish India all the best for the remaining sessions.

Both matches are fairly close and could go either way.
We wish everybody the best of luck.

Sweden seems to have run away with a massive lead in the first semi final. The other semi final is pretty closely poised.

In the ladies semi finals, Poland holds a slender lead over Italy and China a slightly larger lead over German. Nothing major in either match though, making for an exciting encounter today.

While the matches were in a fairly balanced position at the half distance, all the leaders continued to pull away from their opponents to make it to the semi finals

The line up for the semi finals is Poland versus Italy and Germany versus China
