Team Preview

Karnali Yaks Preview

The Karnali Yaks are brimming with confidence after their 21-run victory in the Eliminator against Chitwan Rhinos. Their batting lineup, led by William Bosisto (180 runs), and the all-round prowess of Jaykishan Kolsawala, give them an edge. The bowling unit, spearheaded by Bipin Sharma with 10 wickets, has been reliable in containing opposition teams.

In their last match, the Yaks posted a formidable total of 175, thanks to stellar performances from Jaykishan Kolsawala (53 runs) and William Bosisto (52 runs). The bowlers backed it up by restricting the Rhinos to 154, with Bipin Sharma taking crucial wickets.

Key Strengths:

  • A balanced side with dependable batting and bowling units.
  • Momentum from a convincing Eliminator win.

With Lahiru Milantha (204 runs) anchoring the batting and Lalit Rajbanshi (14 wickets) leading the bowling, they are well-equipped to bounce back.
