KNP vs TAC Match Prediction & Analysis

We are in the final phase of league games in the Men’s PM Cup 2026. The points table has taken shape as the sides fight to boost their hopes of reaching the final. Karnali Province will have to beat the odds as they face Tribhuwan Army Club in the 31st game. Karnali Province lost their last game against Armed Police Force Club by a big margin and has lost hope of reaching the final. The Tribhuwan Army Club defeated Madhesh Province in the last game and aims to maintain its form.  

Tribhuwan Army Club sits at the top of the points table. They have won the last five games against the Karnali Province, and the players will draw inspiration from those wins. They have a stronger batting lineup, giving them an edge. Karnali Province has won only once in six games this season. It remains to be seen if the team can put the poor form behind them and give the table toppers a run for their money.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Karnali Province Preview

Diwan Pun and his men continue with their poor form. The team suffered its fourth loss of the season in its last game, going down by 10 wickets to the Armed Police Force Club. The players failed with the bat and the ball and have lost all hopes of reaching the next round. Pun expects a stronger show from his players as they face the strongest team in the upcoming game.  

Rabindra Shahi and Sunil Dhamala’s poor form has hurt the team, and they must deliver a better start at the top. The middle order has failed this season, and the team needs better performances from Nischal Rawal, Bipin Rawal, and Bipin Shahi. Diwan Pun and Arjun Gharti have made runs, and the team expects them to contribute in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack hasn’t had much to play with this season. The team needs early wickets from Dinesh Adhikari and Prakash Jaishi, as Tribhuwan Army Club’s batters are in good form. Diwan Pun and Prakash Jaishi must deliver good spells in the middle overs. The team expects Bipin Sharma, Sunil Dhamala, and Nischal Rawal to perform well in supporting roles.

1. Karnali Yaks have made only 507 runs in the last four games

Tribhuwan Army Club Preview

Binod Bhandari and his team are in top form. They defeated Madhesh Province by 6 wickets in the last game and have moved to the top of the points table. They have played as a cohesive unit this season, with the batters and bowlers complementing each other. Bhandari aims to extend this form and improve their odds of reaching the final. 

Trit Raj Das was the top scorer in the last game and must deliver a strong start in this contest with Binod Bhandari. Their middle order has delivered good performances, and the team expects the same from Bhim Sharki, Kushal Malla, and Basir Ahamad. Arjun Saud and Naren Saud are good finishers, and they must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

Kushal Malla is the most experienced bowler in this attack and must strike early in the game with Aakash Chand. Naren Saud is the team’s leading wicket-taker this season and aims to keep the scoring in check in the middle overs with Shahab Alam. Basir Ahamad, Trit Raj Das, and Pawan Karki strengthen the team’s batting.  

Interesting Stats 

1. Trit Raj Das has made 187 runs at an average of 46.75  
2. Naren Saud has picked up 9 wickets at an average of 12.22

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Birgunj will be clear. We expect the maximum temperature to be around 34°C during the game, with humidity around 30%. The conditions will be challenging for the batters, as the track is dual-paced, creating doubts in their minds. 

KNP vs TAC Pitch Report

Narayani Cricket Ground has large outfields. The wicket is tricky as the ball comes slowly to the bat. Fast bowlers must bend their backs on this surface, but the spinners have earned rewards from the track. The average first-innings score this season has been below 200, and the team batting first would be happy with a score of 250 or more.

Toss: To Bat

The batting conditions have been challenging at this venue. The wicket has slowed down in the second half, and we have had low-scoring contests. In the last seven games, the team batting first has won five times. The team winning the toss would look to bat first in this game.
