The four teams who will battle out in their race to the summit clash are defending champions Sethu FC, KRYPHSA FC, Gokulam Kerala FC and Kenkre FC.

12 teams divided into two groups started their journey in the tournament. And here's how the points table look like. While KRYPHSA FC have topped Group A winning all the 5 matches in the group leg tie and bagging 15 points, the defending champions Sethu FC won 4 out of their 5 matches securing 12 points. In Group B, Gokulam Kerala FC maintained an undefeated run with 15 points, whereas Kenkre FC won four matches gaining 12 points.

While KRYPHSA maintained a clean sheet in all of their group leg ties netting 15 goals in five matches, Gokulam from Group B maintained the biggest goal difference margin of 26, scoring 28 goals and conceding just two.

The Nepalese 22-year-old forward Sabitra Bhandari has been a revelation in the tournament so far who plays for Gokulam Kerala FC. Sabitra is the highest goalscorer in the tournament so far notching up 16 goals to her name. Sabitra became Nepal's highest goal-scorer last year, beating Anu Lama’s tally of 35. Besides playing in IWL, Sabitra has also played in the Maldives.

After Sabitra, the Sethu FC player Sandhya comes second in the goalscorer leader with 13 goals to her name. Sandhya's best performance in the tournament came during her team's 6-0 dominating victory over Baroda Football Academy, where she netted four times. While a close competition ensues between Sabitra and Sandhya, Gokulam FC's Yumnam Kamala Devi sits in the third position with seven goals.
