Preview:

Kerala and Puducherry are not teams fans and pundits expect to see in the semi-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but they showed last year that they are capable of causing quite a few upsets. Kerala finished fourth in their group last year.

Heavyweights like Uttar Pradesh finished below Kerala. On the other hand, Puducherry also finished fourth on their group, ahead of teams like Assam and Meghalaya. They both will be eager to go one step further this time and at least get a top 3 finish in the group, if not the semi-final berths.
