Rajasthan’s win by 19 runs was hard-fought — they not only posted a good total but defended it against a quality Tamil Nadu batting line-up. Tomar’s century proved decisive, giving Rajasthan the backbone of their innings. The match was a fine example of spin vs composure: Chakravarthy’s spin was dangerous, but Rajasthan’s batters handled it well; meanwhile, Shekhawat’s pace in the death overs made the difference. For Tamil Nadu, despite some good individual knocks, they couldn’t string together a match-winning partnership under pressure.
