On Friday, Railways were 169 for 5 in 45 overs in their second essay at stumps and trailed Tamil Nadu by 40 runs. In fact, Bhargav Merai had hoped that his team would wipe out the deficit and make Tamil Nadu play again. His confidence was due to the fact that Railways still had five wickets in hand.
But in a dramatic turn of events on Saturday morning, Railways lost five wickets with an addition of just 15 runs to their overnight score. Railways could manage to play only 22 balls on the final day. Tamil Nadu, with this win got seven points and with 19 points in total in the tournament so far, are now second in the points table in their group.
