Sudurpaschim Royals Preview
Sudurpaschim Royals have been in sublime form, sitting comfortably at the top of the points table with 3 wins in 4 matches. Their success is largely due to the brilliance of Dipendra Singh Airee, who has scored 139 runs and has been a consistent performer with the bat. The bowling unit, led by Abhinash Bohara, has been effective, with 6 wickets in the tournament so far.
In their previous game against Lumbini Lions, the Royals demonstrated an all-round performance. Saif Zaib’s scintillating 90 off 61 balls and Airee’s finishing abilities helped them post a daunting total of 187. Their bowlers then dismantled the opposition, securing a dominant 45-run win. With a balanced side and momentum on their side, they enter this match as favorites.
Chitwan Rhinos Preview
Chitwan Rhinos are currently placed at third position in the points table with 2 wins and 1 loss. While their batting lineup has shown glimpses of brilliance, their over-reliance on Ravi Bopara (121 runs in the tournament) is a concern. Their bowling attack, spearheaded by the experienced Sohail Tanvir (8 wickets), has been their standout feature.
However, in their last match against Karnali Yaks, the Rhinos faltered. Posting a below-par total of 130, their batters struggled apart from Bopara, who scored 59. The bowlers couldn’t defend the modest score, and they succumbed to a 6-wicket loss. To compete against the Royals, Chitwan Rhinos will need a collective effort from their batting and bowling units.
