Kerala lost their previous encounter against Andhra, as they struggled to defend the total of 112 runs they posted on the board. Kerala is currently sitting in 2nd place in the Elite E Group Points Table with 12 points in its pocket.

Haryana has one of the most reliable players in the league, and they look almost unbeatable at the moment. All four matches they have played have been won, and the Elite E Group points table is ruled by them. In the upcoming game, it will be a difficult task for Kerala to defeat in-form Haryana.
