Match Rules:-
* Games are played between two teams of six players, and each game consists of a maximum of five six-ball overs bowled by each side (eight-ball overs in the final match)
* Each member of the fielding side bowls one over, with the exception of the wicket-keeper.
* Wides and no-balls count as two runs.
* If five wickets fall before 5 overs are completed, the last remaining batsman bats on with the fifth batsman acting as a runner. He always takes strike. The innings is complete when the sixth wicket falls.
* Batsmen retire not out on reaching 31 runs, the idea being to reach 36 runs by hitting 6 sixes. A retired batsman can return to the crease after lower-order batsmen either retire or are out.
* A tournament points system awards two points for each match won.

Is the real BCCI sending the teams? Because there’s been no word from them so close to the competition

Looking at the Squad definitely not a recognised tournament by BCCI
