JKB vs LBL Match Prediction & Analysis
A top-versus-bottom clash is on the cards as the Janakpur Bolts meet the Lumbini Lions in the 14th match of the 2024 Nepal Premier League. Janakpur have taken the top spot in the standings after remaining unbeaten so far while Lumbini are languishing at the bottom of the table after losing all their games thus far. This is hence shaping up to be a one-sided affair.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Janakpur Bolts Preview
Janakpur Bolts are off to a flying start, with three wins under their belt. Their latest victory was a 7-wicket thrashing of Pokhara Avengers, where they easily chased down 139 with almost three overs to spare, thanks to Lahiru Milantha (45 off 32) and James Neesham (40* off 20). Milantha is the Bolts' leading run-scorer with 144 from 3 innings, striking at an impressive 147.
Captain Anil Sah, along with Aasif Sheikh and Neesham make this batting unit stronger.
Lalit Rajbanshi has been the team’s standout bowler, taking 7 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of just 6.25. Mohammad Mohsin and Kishore Mahato have been excellent as well, with 4 wickets each.
Janakpur Bolts Predicted Playing XI:
Anil Sah (c), Aasif Sheikh, Lahiru Milantha (wk), Harsh Thaker, James Neesham, Mohammad Mohsin, Shubh Kansakar, Tul Thapa, Lalit Rajbanshi, Hemant Dhami, Kishore Mahato

Lumbini Lions Preview
Lumbini Lions have had a rough start to the season, losing each of their three fixtures so far. They are coming off a thrashing against Sudur Paschim Royals where they succumbed to 142-9 in a chase of 188.
Still, there were a few positives for Lumbini. Bibek Yadav smashed a terrific unbeaten 77 off 54 in the previous game while everyone else collapsed. Captain Rohit Paudel top-scored with a terrific 95 off 59 balls in their 10-wicket loss to Pokhara Avengers earlier in the tournament, showing how destructive he can be when in form.
Tom Moores has also chipped in with handy contributions here and there, like his 45 off 38 against Pokhara. These two are the most important batters for the Lions and will need to fire again if they need their first win.
Lumbini’s bowling hasn’t been too great. Ramon Simmonds and Durgesh Gupta have done a decent job with the new ball but have failed to get enough early breakthroughs. Rohit Paudel has been economical but the likes of Dinesh Adhikari and Bibek Yadav have leaked runs.
Lumbini Lions Predicted Playing XI:
Arjun Saud, Unmukt Chand (wk), Rohit Paudel (c), Sundeep Jora, Tom Moores, Bibek Yadav, Dinesh Adhikari, Saad Bin Zafar, Ramon Simmonds, Durgesh Gupta, Surya Tamang
