Bagmati Province head into this fixture with a mixed campaign so far in the Men’s PM Cup 2025/26, registering 2 wins in 6 matches and sitting mid-table with 4 points. Their season has been inconsistent, highlighted by dominant wins over Gandaki (by 170 runs) and Karnali (by 60 runs), but also heavy defeats, including a crushing 163-run loss to Sudur Paschim and setbacks against Army and Police Club.
In their most recent outing, Bagmati suffered a major collapse against Sudur Paschim, getting bowled out for just 46 while chasing 210. Despite decent bowling efforts from Sandeep Lamichhane (4/32) and Pratis GC (4/26), the batting unit failed to respond, exposing a key weakness under pressure.
Individually, Bagmati have some strong contributors this season. Ishan Pandey (188 runs) and Bibek Magar (155 runs) have provided stability in the batting lineup, while Sandeep Lamichhane has been the standout performer with 16 wickets, consistently leading the bowling attack. Bagmati will need to address their batting fragility and build partnerships to complement their bowling strength. If they can bounce back from their recent collapse, they remain a competitive side capable of challenging weaker opponents.

Koshi Province head into this match struggling at the bottom end of the table in the Men’s PM Cup 2025/26, having failed to register a win in 6 matches with a poor NRR of -1.668. Their campaign has been marked by consistent losses, including defeats to Gandaki, Police Club, Sudur Paschim, Karnali, and Lumbini, highlighting issues across both batting and bowling departments.
In their most recent outing against Gandaki, Koshi showed some fight but ultimately fell short by 39 runs while chasing 228. Dipesh Kandel top-scored with 52, while Ashish Magar contributed 30, but the lack of sustained partnerships hurt their chase. With the ball, they struggled to contain the opposition, allowing Gandaki to post a competitive total.
Individually, Dipesh Kandel (118 runs) and Suman Shrestha (107 runs) have been among the more consistent batters, while Sujan Thapaliya and Dipesh Kandel have contributed with the ball, picking up 7 wickets each this season. Koshi will need a significant improvement in both their batting depth and bowling discipline to compete effectively. Breaking their losing streak will require a complete team performance against a relatively stronger Bagmati side.
