Karnali Yaks have had an impressive run this season, securing victories in four of their six matches so far. After losing their first two games, the team has remained unbeaten, showing strong form heading into this contest. However, they face a challenging opponent in their next outing.
Shikhar Dhawan, the seasoned Indian opener, has been a key contributor with 136 runs across 4 innings at a strike rate of 122. However, he has missed the last two matches, and Babar Hayat might continue opening the innings if Dhawan misses this match too. Chadwick Walton has been consistent with 115 runs in 6 innings, while William Bosisto and Gulsan Jha have also delivered valuable contributions with the bat.
In the bowling department, Bipin Sharma and Bosisto have been standout performers, each claiming 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Nandan Yadav and Zeeshan Maqsood have provided strong with 6 wickets each, making the Yaks’ bowling attack both effective and balanced.

The pitch at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground is well-balanced, giving both batsmen and bowlers a chance to shine. Early on, the seam bowlers will likely get some assistance from the pitch, but as the match settles in, the batsmen should start to find their rhythm. However, as the pitch starts to slow down, the spinners will become more and more important, and teams will need to find a way to deal with them effectively in the middle overs if they want to come out on top.
The weather conditions in Kirtipur are expected to be ideal, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures. With a rain-free forecast, the stage is set for a smooth and enjoyable match for everyone involved.
The average first innings score at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground is about 154. The highest score recorded in the Nepal Premier League here is a chase, with the Biratnagar Kings reaching 193-8 in 19.5 overs against the Lumbini Lions. In this game, the team batting first will likely target around 150-160 runs to stay in the game.
Early morning games have started to go in favor of the batting side in the recent matchups. This might prompt both captains to bat first in this contest.
Sudurpaschim Royals and Karnali Yaks have both been in fine form this season, with their batters and bowlers delivering the goods. It's a tough call, but we're inclined to favor Sudurpaschim Royals in this one. They seem to have a more well-rounded team, and their recent performances have been more consistent. While Karnali Yaks are definitely a force to be reckoned with, we think Sudurpaschim Royals have the upper hand and will likely take the win in this match.
