Team Previews

Sudurpaschim Royals Preview

The Sudurpaschim Royals, currently 3rd on the points table, have been a dominant force in the tournament. Their recent emphatic 92-run victory over Biratnagar Kings demonstrated their batting depth and bowling precision. Dipendra Singh Airee has been in red-hot form, smashing 57 off just 24 balls in the last game. With support from players like Scott Kuggeleijn, who jolted the opposition with early breakthroughs, and Brandon McMullen, who set the tone in the powerplay, the Royals look poised to continue their momentum.

  • Strengths: Explosive batting and a versatile bowling attack.
  • Concerns: Over-reliance on top-order performances.

Kathmandu Gurkhas Preview

The Kathmandu Gurkhas placed 4th on the table, and bounced back in style with a thrilling 3-wicket win over Karnali Yaks. Despite losing early wickets, the side displayed resilience through Gerhard Erasmus and a match-winning cameo from Karan KC. Their bowling, led by Shahab Alam, has been effective, but the team needs better contributions from their top-order batters to climb the rankings.

  • Strengths: Strong finishers and effective middle-order rescue acts.
  • Concerns: Fragile top-order batting.

Pitch Report

The Tribhuvan University Ground is a batter-friendly surface but tends to slow down as the game progresses, bringing spinners into play.

  • Average 1st Innings Score: 160-170.
  • Chasing Advantage: Teams batting second have had moderate success.
