With the bat, Nic Broes was the main contributor, scoring 55 off 44 balls. Dylan Hunter also made a useful 28 off 20, but the rest of the batting order struggled to add significant runs and ACT finished with a below-par total.
With the ball, Zak Keogh was their best performer with 2/6 in two overs, while Dave Dubey and Kai Brunker picked up one wicket each. Despite those contributions, ACT were unable to maintain pressure as Northern Territory reached the target comfortably.

NEPA vs ACOM Pitch Report
Marrara Cricket Ground has produced a fairly even contest in the four Top End T20 matches provided, with two wins for teams batting first and two for sides chasing. The average first-innings score across these matches is 146.75 runs. The surface generally offers good pace and bounce for batters, while seamers can get some help early on; recent venue data has shown slightly more assistance for spin than pace.
Score Prediction
If Australian Capital Territory bat first: 140-150 runs
If Nepal bat first: 150-160 runs
Toss: To Bowl
The venue results are evenly split, with two wins each for batting-first and chasing teams, so there is no clear result-based edge. With the first-innings average at 146.75 runs, along with the possibility of early assistance for the bowlers, the captain winning the toss is likely to field first.
Toss Prediction: Nepal to win the toss.
NEPA vs ACOM
Winning Prediction
Nepal look better placed going into this contest after winning three of their last five matches, including a convincing 39-run victory over Hobart Hurricanes Academy in their previous outing. Their recent performances have been more consistent, with both their batting and bowling units contributing strongly.
Australian Capital Territory, meanwhile, have lost all three of their matches in the tournament and are coming off a six-wicket defeat against Northern Territory Strike. Their batting has lacked consistency, while the bowling attack has also struggled to maintain pressure. Nepal's stronger recent record and better overall balance give them the advantage.
Nepal to win the match.
