Team Previews
Sudurpashcim Royals (SR) Preview
Sudurpashcim Royals have shown solid form throughout the tournament, currently sitting in the second position on the points table with three wins. Dipendra Singh Airee, their marquee player, has been their top performer with the bat, amassing 140 runs so far. In the bowling department, Scott Kuggeleijn has been the standout, taking 7 wickets and providing breakthroughs at crucial moments.
However, the Royals will aim to bounce back after a loss to Chitwan Rhinos in their previous game, where their batting faltered in a chase of 165. A solid team effort, especially from the middle order, is needed if they aim to topple the table-toppers.
Janakpur Bolts (JPB) Preview
Janakpur Bolts are leading the points table with four wins in the tournament. Their batting lineup has been led by Lahiru Milantha, who has scored a tournament-high 168 runs. Lalit Rajbanshi, with 8 wickets, has been sensational in the bowling department, providing control and wickets in key situations.
The Bolts come into this match after a nail-biting 1-run victory against Lumbini Lions, where Harsh Thaker’s five-wicket haul turned the game in their favor. Despite the win, their inconsistent middle order remains a concern, and they’ll look to improve on that aspect against a strong Royals team.
