The Janakpur Bolts have so far cleared two successful matches from the Nepal Premier League 2024 by winning them, thus making a striking statement. Their prowess in batting is further emphasized by both victories; they displayed quite impressive chases. Meanwhile, the Pokhara Avengers didn’t have a good outing in their last match, as they got out for 76 runs while chasing 162 runs to win.
The Bolts now have these Avengers in front of them who are in great form since they have won both the matches with brilliant chases but most importantly have a threatening bowling attack.
The Bolts displayed a phenomenal performance with the ball when they were able to restrict the opponent in both their matches to very low scores. They bowled out the opponents in the previous match for 127 runs and contained the Karnali Yaks to 141 for 7 in the opening match.
This will be quite a difficult challenge for the Avengers, and from their captain, Kushal Bhurtel, the hopes would be quite high. Other batsmen like Bas de Leede, Raymon Reifer, and Michael Leask also need to step up and deliver big to help the Avengers bounce back from their crushing defeat in the opening game.
Head-To-Head Records:
The Janakpur Bolts and the Pokhara Avengers are yet to play against each other for the first time in their next encounter. Therefore, the two teams have no record of how they fare against each other, having never met before.
Who will win the match?
With the teams really able to show their current form, it seems to work largely in favour of the Janakpur Bolts. They were believed to be having a good time winning both their matches, which they well executed through excellent batting as well as bowling performances.
Contrarily, the Pokhara Avengers seem to be having a hard time getting back on their feet after suffering their first match defeat, which totally crushed them. Only a miracle will now see this team win over the Janakpur Bolts, as most likely the team will fetch another victory for itself.
