The teams are divided into two groups.
In Group A, there are 4 teams. India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nepal are in the same group. On the other hand, Group B consists of the likes of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, UAE, and Japan.

The Academy Oval-1 stadium will host the match between the two sides. The tournament will be played for 10 days with 2 rest days in between the group matches and the semifinals, and then a gap of a day between the semifinal and the final.
The top 2 teams from each group are set to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament.
