The Buchi Babu trophy and the winners’ prize money will be awarded to Mumbai Cricket Association after the Australian Institute of Sports expressed their inability to take the field in Friday’s tournament final due to domestic commitments.
The tournament committee has also decided not to release the runners-up prize money to the AIS, as they had conceded a walkover, a press release from the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association said.
In the semifinals on Thursday, AIS defeated Combined Districts while Mumbai made the grades on the basis of first innings lead against Baroda.
