Elite Group A (at Alur and Bengaluru): Andhra vs Mumbai, Hyderabad vs Jharkhand

Andhra are bottom of the pile in the tournament so far, having won one and lost two of their three matches, and they take on a Mumbai side that will look at them as an opportunity to build on their six points in three matches. Elsewhere, high-flying Hyderabad, will come in on the back of their victory over Karnataka against Jharkhand, who finally got their campaign off the mark victory over Kerala.
