Scorecard
Tamil Nadu fell two wickets short of registering a win against Vidarbha on the fifth day in Jaipur, but made it to the semi-finals after taking the first-innings lead earlier in the drawn match. Chasing 411, Vidarbha were reduced to 96 for 7 before Ganesh Satish resisted with an unbeaten fifty to help them end the day on 142 for 8.
Tamil Nadu, 193 for 6 overnight, were dismissed for 266 once the well-set, overnight partnership of Baba Indrajith and M Rangarajan was broken. They stretched their stand to 76 as both approached their fifties. However, Indrajith was the first to fall, for 49 and his dismissal was followed by the remaining three wickets within two overs. Rangarajan scored a patient 32 off 101 and was the last one to be dismissed.
Vidarbha stuttered in the beginning, losing three wickets at the score of 15 within six deliveries, two of them taken by left-arm pacer Prasanth Parameswaran. Satish and Shalabh Shrivastava resisted with a stand of 53 in under nine overs but B Aparajith broke the partnership by bowling Shrivastava, for 33 off 26. Just when Satish and Ravi Jangid had started to build a partnership, TN struck with three more wickets and conceded only six runs, reducing Vidarbha to 96 for 7. Satish stayed unbeaten till the end on 59, with six fours, and avoided the defeat with a 41-run partnership with Rakesh Dhurv for the eighth wicket. That partnership was broken with a run-out before Vidarbha managed to salvage a draw.
Aparajith finished with 3 for 41 and Parameswaran picked up 2 for 26.
