The Hyderabad team was without Mohammed Siraj, and thus, looked weak in the bowling department as well. Tamil Nadu put up a clinical performance with the bat as captain Vijay Shankar top-scored with a sensible 43. 

Tamil Nadu will now face either Karnataka or Vidarbha in the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The final will be played in Delhi on Monday, 22 November 2021.
