Initially, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had cancelled the tournament because of fixture congestion in both India's domestic and international calendar, but it was restored shortly after the original announcement. India Red qualified for the final, after winning their first game and drawing the second. The final round-robin match between India Blue and India Green ended in a draw, after three of the four days were washed out with no play possible. India Blue progressed to the final, as a result of their earlier drawn game against India Red. India Red won the tournament by beating India Blue by 163 runs in the final.
