Railways still need 95 runs to take first innings lead but Tamil Nadu taking the last two wickets and getting a first innings lead to ensure three points and a safe passage into the quarter-finals.
The trio of Kaushik (3/35), Balaji (2/24) and Mohammed (2/39) kept a tight leash on Railways batsmen as they could manage only 152 runs at an average of 2.41 per over.
Earlier, Ramaswamy Prasanna (117) completed a well-deserved century as Tamil Nadu's tail-enders provided stiff resistance to take the score closer to 250.
In-form Anureet Singh got another five-wicket haul as he took five for 67 in 35 overs to take his season wickets tally to 28.
Brief Scores: Tamil Nadu 246 in 101 overs (R Prasanna 117, Anureet Singh 5/67).
