The game between Luthra & Luthra and Trilegal took place on Sunday 21 February at the Gyan Bharti School, Saket.

According to the tournament rules, it is played by 16 teams that are divided into four groups of four teams each. Each team in the group plays the other three teams once. The top two teams in each group qualify for the quarter final, at which point the competition moves into the knock-out rounds.
