The zonal looked more like a National final with all the teams looking sharp. The tension was visible as the battle got underway with Sai Mitra in their customary fashion getting off to a 150 on the first question.
As the battle progressed Defence Accounts and Brookfields also started scoring. The lead position, however, was quickly established by TCS who moved forward with clinical strikes.
Novartis looked like they were losing as Sai Mitra was consistent and staying close on heals with TCS. It was in the final 10 questions that Novartis struck back with some splendid answers getting past everyone to win the zonal.
The second slot in the National final went down the wire to the final question as Sai Mitra tried in vain to get past TCS.
Novartis and TCS became the first two teams to make it to the Nationals. They were congratulated and awarded their prizes by Mr. Sumanji Tiwari, GM Vivanta Coimbatore.
