Match Preview

Pokhara Avengers have been one of the most balanced and consistent units this season. Despite a disappointing defeat to Lumbini Lions in their previous match, they remain perched at the top of the table. Their batting wobble at the top is an area of concern, but Adam Rossington's superb 81 and Jimmy Neesham’s impactful 51 showcased the depth and resilience of their middle order.

With Bipin Khatri continuing his excellent wicket-taking form, the Avengers look well-rounded and enter this match as strong contenders.

Karnali Yaks, however, find themselves struggling at the bottom with three losses and inconsistent performances. Their batting remains unstable, relying heavily on the likes of Mark Watt, Pawan Sarraf, and William Bosisto to rebuild innings. A bright spark emerged in the last match through Gulshan Jha’s explosive cameo, giving the Yaks some much-needed momentum.

Bowling remains their strongest suit, with Nandan Yadav consistently picking up important wickets. For Karnali to challenge the table-toppers, their top order must fire and support their bowlers.
