Their batting unit appears loaded throughout the order. Binod Bhandari has rocketed to the front of their run-scoring charts with 201 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 109. He looks good for a quick 30+ knock in this match at a 130+ strike rate.
Dipendra Singh Airee and Aarif Sheikh have both made useful scores, each passing 140 runs across six outings. The batting has real substance, with Chris Lynn and Harmeet Singh also looking in great form, and each capable of producing a 30+ score here.
Among the bowlers, Abinash Bohara and Harmeet Singh have been the standout performers, claiming 24 scalps together while keeping things economical. Hemant Dhami and Scott Kuggeleijn have picked up 15 wickets combined, providing the foundation of this bowling unit.

Biratnagar Kings Preview
Biratnagar Kings have enjoyed an excellent campaign, winning five of their seven league fixtures and losing two to finish second on the table. They wrapped up the group stage with a strong win against Sudur Paschim Royals, which should give them plenty of confidence heading into the knockout stage.
Batting has been their biggest strength. Basir Ahamad has led the way, piling up 176 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 127.53. He will once again be expected to add at least 30 quick runs in the middle to set the tone of the second half of the innings.
Lokesh Bam is another standout performer in the batting unit, collecting 165 runs in seven matches at 111. Martin Guptill and Sam Heazlett have been steady contributors too, both crossing 110 runs while scoring at a brisk pace at the top.
Their bowlers have backed it up effectively. Skipper Sandeep Lamichhane has led from the front as usual, taking 15 wickets in seven outings while conceding only 5.10 runs an over. His spell will be key for the Kings in the playoffs. Marchant de Lange and Surya Tamang have combined to claim 12 wickets and have been reliable throughout.
Biratnagar Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Martin Guptill, Faf du Plessis, Sam Heazlett, Lokesh Bam(w), Pratis GC, Basir Ahamad, Shankar Rana, Naren Bhatta, Surya Tamang, Sandeep Lamichhane(c), Marchant de Lange

This season, teams batting first at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground have averaged about 170 runs. In this qualifier match, setting a target between 175 and 180 could force the opposition into a difficult chase.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams batting second have won three of the last four Nepal Premier League 2025 matches at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground. The trend is pretty obvious here, and we reckon whichever captain wins the toss will opt to field first in this contest.

Winning Prediction
Sudur Paschim Royals and Biratnagar Kings meet in Nepal Premier League 2025 Qualifier 1, with both teams in contention for a finals berth. Sudur Paschim finished first in the group phase and have been reliable performers all season long. Biratnagar, though, are far from an easy opponent. They've proven capable of beating top sides, particularly after hammering Sudur Paschim when these two last faced off in the groups. This should be close, but Sudur's better run through the tournament gives them the advantage going in.
Sudur Paschim Royals are our picks for the winners of the first Qualifier!
