In the elite groups, the battle is fierce, with each team engaging in seven riveting matches. The top two contenders from each group will lock horns in the quarter-finals, striving for a coveted spot in the semi-finals. The stakes are high, and only the best will emerge victorious.
Meanwhile, the plate group, with its six tenacious teams, will engage in five fierce encounters each. The top four performers will advance to the plate semi-finals, paving the way for an intense showdown in the plate final, scheduled for Saturday, February 17. The cherry on top? The two finalists earn a well-deserved promotion to the Elite Group in the upcoming 2024-25 season.

Arpit Vasavada, the tournament's second-highest run-scorer in 2023, was rightfully honored as the Player of the Tournament.
