The tournament, to be held July 19, is to be coordinated by the Cricket Development Committee of the RHTYSC and will see 12 pairs competing in the knockout tournament.

The first and second rounds of matches will be played on a two overs per team basis while the semi-finals and finals will be four-overs-per-side affairs.
