It took place from 1 to 5 October 2024 in Lucknow.[2] The tournament was part of the 2024 Indian domestic cricket season, announced by the BCCI in June 2024.[3]

The one-off match was originally scheduled to be held in Mumbai, but it was moved to Lucknow to guard against weather interruptions, with Mumbai going through an extended monsoon.[5]
