The first match of the day began with Rajasthan Youth Cricket Club (RYCC) winning the toss and electing to bat against Prime Sports Club. The batting side struggled to get going as Poorav (4/13) bowled an outstanding spell up-front to completely dismantle the opposition. However, opener Shubham Meena (man of the match) was unfazed by wickets falling at other end as his gritty knock (39 runs off 46 deliveries) on a challenging pitch took RYCC to a total of 105.
Chasing the target, Prime Sports Club (PCC) started off steadily scoring 23 runs without any loss of wicket. However, the match turned upside down afterwards as Krishan Chaudhary (2/15) and Rohit Bisht (2/5) got their side back to the contest. PCC collapsed from 23/0 to 34/5 and could never recover as they fell short of the target by 7 runs after the completion of 20 overs.

Summer Cricket Club (SCC) also followed the same route after winning the toss and came out to bat.
