Electing to bat first, Hyderabad posted 116/9 in 20 overs. Most of the scoring was done by captain G Trisha and Pranavi Chandra who put on a 69-run partnership for the opening wicket in 10 overs. While Trisha hit nine boundaries and a six in her 60-ball knock, Pranavi smashed three sixes in her 17-ball 24-run knock to provide a blistering start.

For the losing outfit, captain CMC Najla top-scored with a 31-ball 33 while VJ Joshitha hit 30 off 23 deliveries.
