9:00 PM Yaqeen vs Sabr (Series Tied)

	Yaqeen	Sabr
Semi-Finals Game 1: Score	2	2
Semi-Finals Game 1: PIM	2	6
Semi-Finals Game 1 Three Stars	2nd: Erfan Bhanapatel 3rd: Raza Butt	1st: Mohammad Khandwala
Keys to Victory	Too much Swedish and no Finish! Need to shoot the ball quicker instead of trying to score the highlight reel goal Matchup Arssal Shahbuddin against Zubair Wahid Force Sabr to play at your speed. You are the quicker team. If you slow the game down that just gives Sabr an opportunity to setup defensively.	Farrukh Khan needs to lead the way defensively Continue to dump and chase and wear out Yaqeen I believe if they score the first goal, Sabr has the ability to keep the lead for the rest of the game
Questions facing each team:	What is their goaltending situation?	Can Mohammad Khandwala steady his nerves in the crucial moments of this game?
Prediction:		Sabr win in OT

10:00 PM Haya vs Ikhlas (Haya leads 1-0)

	Haya	Ikhlas
Semi-Finals Game 1: Score	6	2
Semi-Finals Game 1: PIM	24	20
Semi-Finals Game 1 Three Stars	1st: Sufyan Shaikh 2nd: Akib Malik	3rd: Yasir Hussain
Keys to Victory	Keep the heat-check going for Sufyan Shaikh  Score the first goal early and crush Ikhlas’ hopes Stay out of the penalty box and just remain focus on getting Haya to the Championship Series	Figure out what defense is! Remind the team to play defense! Actually play defense!
Questions facing each team:	Is Sufyan Shaikh the best player in the entire league?	Is there anyone on Ikhlas that can stop Sufyan Shaikh?
Prediction:	Haya wins in regulation
