The Pokhara Avengers and Sudur Paschim Royals are going to battle in the magnificent sixth match of the Nepal Premier League 2025. Nevertheless, these two teams exhibit opposite vibes on the way to the game. The Pokhara Avengers are badly in need of a win to keep their hopes of making it to the playoffs alive after suffering a hefty 53-run defeat against the Biratnagar Kings in their first match.
The Sudur Paschim Royals, on the other hand, are in a good mood, and the victory over Kathmandu Gorkhas by 29 runs has added to their confidence. They want to make it to the top quickly and be counted.
The clash at Tribhuvan University Ground is likely to be very interesting. The Pokhara team has nothing to lose and hence, will play very aggressively. Sudur Paschim, in contrast, is looking to show that their first victory was not a matter of chance but rather the start of a great thing. One side is seeking forgiveness, while the other is trying to maintain its hot streak.

Pitch Report
Kirtipur’s surface is recognized for its support to bowlers, primarily seamers, the ones who are benefiting from the extra movement because of the moisture on the surface. Batters, however, can still get their runs if they are prepared to stay on the crease for a long time, and the score would be nice. The average total of the first innings at this ground is 15,0 which would most probably be the lowest for this match.
