Selayang are favoured to qualify from Group B but they too will have a fight in their hands against the Sri Devi Tigers.

Pasum Ponn A and Malaysia Nanban are expected to fight it out for top place in Group C.

The two best second placed team from the two group will take on each other in a playoff for a berth in the semi-finals.

In the women's competition, newly crowned Kuala Lumpur Premier League Kabaddi champions Sri Devi Princess will have to be top form if tehy harbour hopes of winning the title.

They will have to contend with the dangerous Sri Manjari and Segar for the title.

All matches will start at 8.30 am. Teams are expected to report for the competition by 7.30am.

Local television station TV3 would be doing a live crossover of the event between 7 and 7.30 am.
