All opening round matches of the Vijay Hazare Elite Group 'B' were washed out on Tuesday without a ball being played due to wet outfield.

The overnight rain caused all six teams -- Delhi, Vidarbha, Maharashtra, Himachal, Baroda and Odisha -- to get two points each.

The tournament will see several India internationals trying to leave a mark while competing for the top honours.

Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant and pacer Navdeep Saini, who recently made his India debut, will feature in the Delhi side.

While Karnataka vice-captain KL Rahul, who has been out of favour in India's Test side, will also look to re-establish his white-ball credentials.
