The fixture of the Nepal Premier League is set for Wednesday as it will bring about the battle of Karnali Yaks and Kathmandu Gurkhas at the open arena of Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground. After both teams had disappointing outings in their first games of the season, they want to win this match to taste their first victory in the season. The game promises to be thrilling since both teams bring their best players in the game.
Karnali Yaks had an unfortunate 8 wickets defeat against Janakpur Bolts having scored 141-7 batted first, while Jansakpur managed to chase it without more than 5 overs to go. Kathmandu Gurkhas also had a shaky start as they lost to Chitwan Rhinos, 5 wickets.
The Gurkhas could only manage 111-9 while batting first, followed by 17 balls remaining for the chasing Rhinos. So both would like to come back after their opening losses to try and snatch a crucial win.
Head-To-Head Records:
The Karnali Yaks and the Kathmandu Gurkhas 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 exciting teams like the Karnali Yaks and Kathmandu Gurkhas yearning to secure their first win of the season, there are intrinsic strengths and weaknesses palpitating twinges in this sports rivalry. Yet, overall, the balance of the Karnali actually appears more impressive.
Also, it appears that Karnali’s batting department has much reliance on it, giving the team more edge above Kathmandu Gurkhas; hence, we feel that Karnali Yaks will emerge as victors in such an important match. Their balanced team composition gives chances of being likely winners.
