TEAMS PREVIEW
Chitwan Rhinos Preview
The Chitwan Rhinos head into this match on the back of a five-wicket loss against the Sudurpaschim Royals in their last outing. It was a one-sided contest where the Rhinos struggled to get any momentum throughout.
Batting first, the Rhinos scored 129/6 in 20 overs. Dawid Malan (16 runs) and Arjun Saud (15 runs) got off to starts but could not convert them into big knocks. Ravi Bopara top-scored with 49 runs off 40 balls, while skipper Sikandar Raza, playing his first match of the season, only managed to score 15 runs. Bibek Yadav added 17 runs at the end to push his team's total close to 130.
Defending a low score of 130, the Rhinos did manage some early breakthroughs, reducing the Royals to 34/2 in 3.4 overs. However, a rapid third-wicket partnership of 36 runs off 18 balls dragged the game back in the Royals' favor. Although the Rhinos struck back twice to leave them at 70/4 after 6.3 overs, they could not break the remaining middle order, which resulted in them conceding the target inside 17 overs.
The Rhinos sit in the bottom half of the table, and with four matches still to play, every game is crucial for them as the gap between the top four and the lower-half teams starts to widen. If they lose this match, the Rhinos will have to win their next three in a row to reach 9 points.
Chitwan Rhinos Predicted Playing XI:
Dev Khanal, Dawid Malan, Arjun Saud (wk), Ravi Bopara, Sikandar Raza (c), Mousom Dhakal, Ranjit Kumar, Rijan Dhakal, Kamal Singh Airee, Tom Taylor, Bibek Yadav

Pokhara Avengers Preview
The Pokhara Avengers are having a disastrous start to the season, losing all of their close matches. They began the campaign with a six-wicket loss against the Sudurpaschim Royals, followed by a nine-run defeat to the Janakpur Bolts. Despite staying ahead for most of that game, they failed to chase down 148 runs after losing four wickets in quick succession during the middle overs.
In their last outing against the Lumbini Lions, it was another disastrous batting performance, as they scored just 97/9 in their 20 overs. Chamika Karunaratne top-scored with 25 runs, while Kushal Bhurtel (12), Mahedi Hasan (13), and Kiran Thaguna (12) were the only other batters to reach double digits.
Even with the ball, they conceded the 98 runs in just 12 overs, which heavily affected their net run rate. Shakib Al Hasan (4 wickets), Chamika Karunaratne (2 wickets), and Mahedi Hasan (2 wickets) are the leading wicket-takers for the Avengers this season. Despite boasting a top-quality bowling attack, the Avengers haven't quite been able to deliver.
Pokhara Avengers Predicted Playing XI:
Mahedi Hasan, Kushal Bhurtel (c), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Shakib Al Hasan, Arjun Gharti (wk), Kiran Thagunna, Arjun Kumal, Chamika Karunaratne, Bipin Khatri, Bipin Acharya, Aakash Chand
