Pokhara Avengers looked to be in a great spot to get something out of the game against Kathmandu but the heavy loss has taken the confidence out of the team once again. It is now a season that has seen the team lose four out of the six matches. Pokhara Avengers are sitting just a place above the bottom and there is every potential for the team falling to the bottom spot if Lumbini Lions get something out of the game.
Andries Gous was out for a duck against Kathmandu but he remains the club’s top scorer with 188 runs from the five matches. He has been able to manage an average of 47 from his five innings. Dinesh Kharel comes a close second after grabbing 147 runs from his six innings, as his 38 from just 25 balls against Kathmandu helped Pokhara post a decent total.
Bipin Khatri comes as the leading wicket-taker with nine wickets from his six innings. He is just four away from leading the charts. Pokhara need a major improvement on the bowling front to be able to climb up the table.

Sudur Paschim Royals have put together an incredible run and the team bounced back much quicker than expected from the recent loss against Chitwan. In fact, the victory over table leaders Janakpur has provided Sudur Paschim Royals with a huge chance of being able to go top of the table by the end of this weekend. The team has a two-point deficit to the top following this recent victory.
The top batsman in the ranks has been Saif Zaib, who has managed 154 runs from his five innings at an average of 30. Dipendra Singh Airee has been leading by example and he has come up with 140 runs from his five innings. Even though both top batsmen were not at their best in the recent game, Dipendra Singh Airee have a solid lineup in the bowling department that can help them out of tricky situations.
The bowling line-up of the team is led by Scott Kuggeleijn, who has picked up eight wickets from his five innings at an average of 11. Yet, the crucial bowler against Janakpur was Dipendra Singh Airee.

The pitch is very balanced with the average first-innings and second-innings scores in the last five matches on this ground coming at 137 and 127 respectively. The close nature of these two scores suggests that the pitch does not tilt heavily in favour of the batsmen or bowlers. The weather in Kirtipur is expected to be mostly sunny with maximum temperatures hitting 18°C.
The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur is getting ready to host the penultimate round of matches. The venue has so far been a balanced one for batsmen and bowlers even if the latter have been able to get more joy by slender margins.
In the last five matches, the teams batting second have won the game on three occasions while the teams batting first have been successful only on two occasions. The difficult nature of the batting pitch is likely to make teams prefer batting second.
Sudur Paschim Royals have managed four victories in the last five matches and they are just two points away from getting to the top spot. After having beaten the table leaders in the recent game, Sudur Paschim Royals have all the potential to go on to claim back-to-back victories. Pokhara Avengers have been struggling on several fronts and they could be set for a consecutive defeat.
Our prediction is for Sudur Paschim Royals to win
