CHENNAI, AUG 20: Indian Airlines pipped Air-India by 32 runs to set up a semi-final clash against MRF in the MRF-sponsored all India Buchi Babu Memorial Cricket Tournament here.

In the other two quarterfinals, MAC TNCA XI defeated Punjab Cricket Association by 49 runs while Hyderabad XI lost to Districts XI by 65 runs. The winners play in the semi-finals on Friday.

Sanjay Manjrekar, who scored his second century in the match (115: 75b, 6x6, 6x4), and his 108-run stand for the fifth wicket with Amit Velaskar (19) went in vain as Air-India closed at 302 for eight.
