At close of play, North Zone was five for one in its second innings.

The organisers have decided to continue the game on Tuesday to compensate the loss of play on Sunday owing to rain.

The ACA inter-zonal U-19 women's match between South Zone and North Zone was washed out at Guntur due to heavy rain.

Twenty-six probables were picked and the final team will be finalised after a coaching camp.
