Vijay raced to 38 of just twelve balls as Kaalai was 48 for three after three overs. Vijay followed up with a six of left-arm spinner R. Alexander, and a half-century stand with R. Srinivasan, as Karaikudi reached 69 for one at the end of power play.
R. Alexander though had the last laugh getting M. Vijay Kumar caught and bowled for 46. He then struck twice removing Badrinath and Shahjahan in successive overs as Kaalai slumped to 94 for four in the eleventh over. R. Srinivasan played a lone hand as wickets tumbled at the other end. But his dismissal - off a brilliant yorker by Antony Dhas - put Kaalai in a spot beyond redemption.
