G. Sathiyan and Sharath Kamal set up their much-anticipated title-clash after surviving a day of upsets in the 41st Petroleum inter-unit table tennis tournament at the Indira Gandhi Stadium here on Thursday.

In the semifinals, Sathiyan ended the winning streak of ONGC-teammate Sourav Saha 4-0 and Indian Oil’s Sharath Kamal halted the unexpected run of Oil India’s Ankur Bhattacharya 4-1.

Sourav had earlier packed off Sanil Shetty and Manav Thakkar. Ankur made it past Priyanuj Bhattacharya and Sarth Mishra, the man who stunned Harmeet Desai 4-3 in the pre-quarterfinals.

The women’s final will be between in-form Yashaswini Ghopade and Reeth Rishya.

Yashaswini, conqueror of Krittwika Sinha Roy in the quarterfinals, got the better of Divya Despande 4-2 in the semifinals. Divya had knocked out Archana Kamath 4-3 in the quarterfinals.

For a place in the final, Reeth ended the dream run of Jennifer Varghese 4-3 after beating K. Shamini. Jennifer had scalped Ankita Das and Mouma Das on her way to the semifinals.
