TEAMS PREVIEW
Pokhara Avengers Preview
Pokhara Avengers find themselves in the 7th place in the points table just because Biratnagar Kings decided to perform worse in NPL 2024. They are separated by a few decimal points in the net run rate.
Pokhara Avengers started the season with an 87-run loss against Chitwan Rhinos. Chasing 161, Pokhara Avengers ended up getting all-out for just 74 in 13.2 overs. Bas de Leede was the peak of the bowlers for Pokhara Avengers with 2 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs. The second game was slightly better as Pokhara Avengers managed to cross 100 runs, although they still ended up on the losing side - a loss by 7 wickets.
Pokhara Avengers finally tasted victory against Lumbini Lions while chasing a target of 171. Earlier, Bipin Khatri took 2 wickets for 18 runs in 3 overs. Andries Gaus from Pokhara Avengers smashed a swashbuckling century scoring 104 runs of 55 balls - 12 fours and 5 sixes - to help Pokhara Avengers reach the target with 10 wickets still intact. Dinesh Kharel ed Andries Gaus very well with an innings of 61 runs in 46 balls. It was as comprehensive a performance as it gets.
However, in the very next game, Pokhara Avengers succumbed to another defeat against Karnali Yaks by 7 wickets. Pokhara Avengers managed just 103 runs, batting first, and lost with 5 overs to spare. If the game against Lumbini Lions is anything to go by, Pokhara Avengers have the ability to dominate. It is just that they have been heavily underperforming so far. One can expect a better performance against Biratnagar Kings in this game.

Biratnagar Kings Preview
Biratnagar Kings did not have a very different Nepal Premier League 2024 compared to Pokhara Avengers. They have also lost 3 of the 4 games so far and are placed at the bottom of the table in the 8th place just below Pokhara Avengers.
Biratnagar Kings started the season with a big loss against Janakpur Bolts. Batting first, Martin Guptill’s half century helped Biratnagar Kings score 127. In defense, Biratnagar Kings managed just 2 wickets and lost the game with about 5 overs to spare. In the next game against Paschim Royals, Biratnagar Kings folded for just 92 runs, chasing 183. Anil Kharel took 3 wickets for 26 runs in 4 overs. None of the batters could stand against Royals bowling attack. As many as 8 batters from Biratnagar Kings were dismissed on single-digit score.
A timely win came against Lumbini Lions in the next game for Biratnagar Kings. Chasing a high score of 192, Biratnagar Kings got there with just one ball remaining in the match. Wicketkeeper Lokesh Bam scored a match-winning knock of 71 runs in 47 balls. Baseer Ahmed scored a handy 40 of just 23 balls down the order.
In the next game against Karnali, Biratnagar Kings lost by 7 runs in another low-scoring game. Prathis GC took 4 wickets for 17 runs in 4 overs. Nicholas Kirton fought with an innings of 40 runs, but Biratnagar Kings could not get over the line and fell short by 7 runs. It is difficult to comment whether Biratnagar Kings ever found form in this tournament. Hopefully, they will perform better against Pokhara Avengers.
Key players: Lokesh Bam, Martin Guptill, Sandeep Lamichhane, Pratis GC
Biratnagar Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Lokesh Bam (wk), Martin Guptill, Aqib Ilyas, Naren Bhatta, Nicholas Kirton, Basir Ahamad, Dipak Bohara, Pratis GC, Chris Sole, Sandeep Lamichhane (c), Subash Bhandari

Winning Prediction
Two of the worst teams in Nepal Premier League 2024 will be competing against each other in this game.

Thus, we believe they have a slight advantage over Biratnagar Kings in this game.
