The 39-time champions will meet Saurashtra in the final, to be played in Mumbai from January 26-30.
Mumbai dismissed Services for 240 on the sixth day to take a huge first-innings lead of 214 runs, which sealed their spot in the title round.

Seamer Dhawal Kulkarni bowled in right areas to end with figures of five for 33 as he cleaned up the lower order in a jiffy.
Once Yashpal, who looked good during his 96-ball knock, poked at a good length delivery from seamer Shardul Thakur to be caught by Aditya Tare, the institutional team ran out of steam.
