Sussex have been drawn in Group ‘B’, along with New South Wales of Australia and the Eagles of South Africa.
Sussex face New South Wales on Sunday, October 11, followed by the Eagles on Tuesday, October 13. Both will take place in Delhi, and the top two teams from each group qualify for the next round.
