The final of the tournament will be played on February 10. Following the format of the inaugural edition, six teams will compete in a total of 34 matches at six different venues.
However, taking a leaf out of the IPL’s book, this year, they are coming up with a new playoff setup. The table toppers will play each other in Qualifier 1 before third and fourth-placed teams will face each other in Eliminator.
The loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator will then face in Qualifier 2 and the winner will book a spot in the final against the winner of Qualifier 1.
