Going into the quarter-final, Hyderabad had a win in their last match in the Super League, against [[Baroda cricket team|Baroda]], while Uttar Pradesh had lost to [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]]. Also, emerging India player [[Mohammad Kaif]] was making a return to his home side after having been on the sideline during the [[1999–2000 Coca-Cola Cup|triangular series in Sharjah]], while it was expected that Hyderabad had former India captain [[Mohammad Azharuddin]] returning after India's exit in the series.<ref>{{cite news |title=UP meet Hyderabad |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2000/20000330/sports.htm#7 |access-date=29 October 2025 |work=The Tribune |date=30 March 2000}}</ref> Azharuddin had scored more than 600 runs [[Batting average|at]] 86 for his team before heading for international duty.
