Rajasthan, after winning the toss, elected to bat first and piled up a total of 154/9. With 120/2 in 13 overs, they looked good enough to cross 180. But wickets in the death overs stopped the flow of runs.
M Mohammed picked up four wickets, while left-arm off-spinner Sai Kishore put up another good performance by picking 2 wickets in four overs and giving just 16 runs.
During the chase, it was one man, Arun Karthik who slammed a brilliant unbeaten 89 to help Tamil Nadu win the match. They will face Baroda in the final on Sunday (January 31).
