Semi-finals

[edit]

Delhi qualified for the final for the tenth time by virtue of a first innings lead after its match against Bombay ended in a draw. Requiring 152 runs to surpass Delhi's first innings score of 409, Bombay were dismissed for 321, that included a fighting 78 off 171 balls by Sachin Tendulkar.[9]

Bengal made it to their ninth final, their first since the 1971–72 competition, also by virtue of a first innings lead, against Tamil Nadu. Earlier in Tamil Nadu's innings, Woorkeri Raman scored 238, recording his third double century in as many matches. In the process, he broke the 45-year-old record of Rusi Modi for most runs in a single season of the competition (1,008). Gautam Shome, who played his first game of the season for Bengal, removed Raman and P. C. Prakash before Tamil Nadu were dismissed 61 runs short of Bengal's first innings tally.[10]
