The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 has reached its final day of league stage action, with all the teams in Elite Group D and E and the Plate Group playing their last preliminary round matches on Tuesday, January 19. The Elite Group A, B and C sides played their final league phase encounters on January 18.

Punjab finished atop the Elite Group A points table of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, with twenty points to their credit. They won all their five league stage matches to qualify for the quarter-finals as the table-toppers.

Karnataka are placed second in the group, with their only reversal coming against Punjab. Their qualification for the knockout stage as one of the two best second-placed teams will depend on the results of the final day's matches in Elite Group D and E.

Jammu and Kashmir and Railways occupy the next two spots in the Elite Group A points table of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, with three and two wins respectively. Uttar Pradesh avoided finishing with the wooden spoon in the group because of their win against Tripura, who ended without a point.

Tamil Nadu qualified for the quarter-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 as the Elite Group B table-toppers. Just like Punjab, they also finished with an all-win record in the group stages.

Bengal and Jharkhand, with twelve points each, are placed second and third in the group but are out of contention for a knockout stage berth. Assam finished fourth in Elite Group B, courtesy of a couple of wins.

Himachal Pradesh, with sixteen points, finished as the Elite Group C runners-up. Just like Karnataka, they would also await the results of the final Elite Group D and E encounters to know their fate in the tournament.
