On the opening day, the match will be against Mumba vs Bangalore Bulls. the second match will be against Tamil Thalaivas against Telegu Titans. The third match of the opening day will be between UP Yoddha and the defending champions Bengal Warriors.
The second part of the schedule will be by mid-January. It is also expected that scheduling the game for a second part will help the teams assess their strengths, build strategies and work on their weakness.
