Star-studded Indian Airlines were shown the door as CRPF rallied to victory and set up a summit clash with Punjab and Sind Bank in the 21st DCM Sriram hockey tournament in Kota on Friday.

Trailing 0-1, CRPF scored two quick goals in the second-half through Tanveer and Vincent to pip Indian Airlines in a keenly-contested semi-final encounter.

In the other semi-final, PSB defeated Sikh Regiment Centre (SRC) 5-4 via the tie-breaker after both teams were locked 1-1 in regulation time.

Airlines shot into the lead when Rajneesh Mishra converted the team's second penalty-corner in the first-half.

Despite trailing 0-1 at the breather, CRPF did not let the pressure bulid up. They regrouped and started attacking with more aggression. The strategy paid dividends when Tanveer scored the equaliser in the 48th minute.

CRPF followed it up with another goal five minutes later when Vincent found the net, much to the delight of his teammates.

Airlines tried their best to equalise but in vain.

In the other match, it was Sikh Regiment Centre which found the net first in the 22nd minute through Minz.

Leading 1-0 at half-time, SRC were surprised by the sudden brilliant moves made by the PSB strikers which culminated in Amarjeet's equaliser in the 37th minute.

However, the teams could not break the 1-1 deadlock and the match had to be decided via the penalty shoot-out in which PSB goalkeeper Shamsher saved twice.
