It will be held behind closed doors, with no fans permitted in the grounds, as part of the bio- secure bubble protocols, put in place to minimise the risk of Covid-19 infection.

The Wednesday morning game will pit Rocks against Eagles, while Tuskers will meet Mountainee­rs, in the second match of the day.
