Both teams survived close encounters to start their respective campaigns on winning notes. Chandigarh were victorious against Puducherry and Vidarbha -- identical five-wicket wins that could have gone either way.

Assam survived a nervy chase against the Railways in their lone outing thus far. Expect a crunch match when they meet Chandigarh today. The match will feature some of the hottest talents in domestic cricket and Indian Premier League (IPL) regulars.

The other teams in the group are Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

In their meeting in India's national T20 cricket championship last season, Chandigarh beat Assam by six wickets with 13 balls to spare thanks to a 99-run fourth-wicket stand between Gaurav Puri (75) and Shivam Bhambri (61 not out) in reply to Assam's 191. Riyan Parag scored 76 runs while Sandeep Sharma took three wickets in the first innings.
