Team Previews
Chitwan Rhinos Preview
The Chitwan Rhinos are riding high after a convincing victory in their last match. Led by marquee player Kushal Malla, their strength lies in their balanced squad with a mix of experience and young talent. Sohail Tanvir was phenomenal in the previous game, taking five wickets to dismantle the opposition. Meanwhile, Santosh Karki emerged as a match-winner with the bat.
The Rhinos will aim to continue their momentum and maintain their position near the top of the table.
- Key Players to Watch:

- Sagar Dhakal: A key wicket-taker who thrives in pressure situations.
