The two teams, both with championship honours on a number occasions, have been named.
The Guyana-based sides are loaded with several high-profile players and no doubt they will be looking to make a positive impact from day one. The action will unfold for three consecutive days, with things formalizing Sunday with the three-category finals. Open category is the other one.
Regal Legends have two of softball legends in their lineup which would certainly boost their confidence tremendously. The pair are batsmen Wayne Jones and Ramesh Narine.
In the Masters composition, they have got pugnacious opening batsman Patrick Rooplall along with a list of seasoned campaigners.
