On Friday, 3rd May 2024, it will be the quarter finals for either cluster of gender after the round of 16 stage on the previous day.

Action during the round of 16 witnessed mouth-watering action with fancy dribbles, accurate throws to the ring (three shots, simple lay ups and free shots), take-ons, majestic body checks and eye-catching dunks from mainly the boys’ section.
