The Nepal Premier League (NPL) is all set to kick off on November 30, 2024, with an exciting encounter of Janakpur Bolts Vs Biratnagar Kings. The eight franchise teams playing in the main tournament are Kathmandu Gurkhaz, Chitwan Rhinos, and Lumbini Lions. The NPL matches will be aired live on Star Sports so people from around the world can watch the action.
The tournament schedule is designed to ensure that the fans have a blast and only the four best-performing teams make it to the playoffs round. The eliminator and the first qualifier will occur on December 18, the second qualifier is set for December 19 and the final match is on December 21. The headline players of the competition are international cricket talents from India, New Zealand, and Shikhar Dhawan, Martin Guptill, and Ben Cutting.
Head-To-Head Records
When the Biratnagar Kings and Janakpur Bolts play each other in the Nepal Premier League opener, this will be their first-ever meeting. Consequently, the two teams do not have any head-to-head records. Both teams will aim to get off to a strong start and build momentum that will carry them through the competition.
Who will win the match?
The Nepal Premier League is starting today by broadcasting a match between Biratnagar Kings and Janakpur Bolts. It’s difficult to predict anything for clear winners but I can surely share with you some information based on team rosters.
Biratnagar Kings are quite powerful themselves, with players like Martin Guptill, Sandeep Lamichhane, and Aqib Ilyas, who would play a significant role on the pitch. On the other hand, Janakpur Bolts have Aasif Sheikh, Sohaib Maqsood, and James Neesham—all of whom have the talent to fight the kings in this match.
It’s really hard to say, but if you ask me to pick one, I might say the Biratnagar Kings on the basis of a slight advantage due to their strong bowling lineup. That said, their batting power cannot be underestimated and may, indeed, surprise in what will probably prove an upset.
Surely, this would be a fun game to watch; one will have to wait and see how it will unfold!
