The game started with SIBM Bangalore taking the first strike and moving into the lead. Early on, IIM Indore also looked sharp as did LNMIIT and the doctors from Hyderabad. As the overs progressed it was SIBM that looked extremely steady and confident playing with enormous surety and taking no undue risks.
The other teams battling was GITAM, IIM Indore, Osmania Medical and LNMIIT. The Osmania medical college team, unlike their style, played a little conservative and that led to missing their scoring opportunities. The duo from LNMIIT was hanging on and on the penultimate question clinched the battle with a firm strike to get into the national finale along with SIBM Bangalore.
The Chairman of CMR Group of Institutions, Mr. Gopala Reddy, gave away the prizes to the teams and advised them to work hard irrespective of what they choose to pursue.
