Tirunelveli(TN), Nov 15 (PTI) Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad had to settle for one point each as the first innings remained unfinished resulting in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group 'B' match ending in a tame draw here Thursday.

Resuming at 163 for 2, Tamil Nadu lost skipper Baba Indrajith (33) for the addition of 15 runs.
