PKA vs KMG Match Prediction & Analysis
Kathmandu Gorkhas and Pokhara Avengers lock horns in the last league stage match of the Nepal Premier League 2026 in Kirtipur. The Gorkhas will be eying the QF 1 spot while the Avengers have only pride to play for.
Pokhara Avengers beat Karnali Yaks in a recent game, marking their first win of the season. After a strong batting performance in that match, the Avengers were back to their usual struggles as they were bowled out for 132 runs in the last match.
Gorkhas’ 4-match winning streak ended in their last outing as they failed to chase down a 126-run target against SDR. They got Sam Heazlett in for David Warner in the last match. The top 3 batters were all replaced, and the changes did not work well for Kathmandu.
Pokhara Avengers have promising players in the batting lineup, who could pose a threat to the Gorkhas. The likes of Dhananjaya Lakshan and Chamika Karunaratne in the lower middle order are crucial for a strong finish.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Pokhara Avengers Preview
Pokhara Avengers feature some very promising names in the batting order. They are the only team in the Nepal Premier League 2026 to have crossed the 200-run mark.
In a recent outing against Karnali Yaks, Yuvraj Samra’s hundred led them to 217 runs while batting first. Dhananjaya Lakshan, Kushal Bhurtel, and Bipin Khatri picked up 2 wickets each to secure a 63-run win.
However, in the very next match, the Avengers were on the back foot, bowled out for 132 runs. Samra continued his form with another impactful knock while the middle order collapsed as Pokhara were reduced to 76 for 5 halfway through the innings.
Mahedi Hasan and Kushal Bhurtel are the key players in the middle order who should rise to the occasion to help the Avengers finish on a high. Mahedi Hasan was dropped from the XI in the last game while skipper Chamika Karunaratne couldn’t repeat his previous game’s performance.
Arjun Gharti and Sunny BK aren’t the best choices for the 4th and 5th spots in the batting order. Pokhara should get in Hasan and send him at 4, followed by Karunaratne and the captain coming in at number 5.
In the bowling attack, Kushal Bhurtel and Dhananjaya Lakshan will be ones to watch for. Avengers have been quite successful with the ball in their recent matches. Mahedi Hasan is also quite reliable with the ball and, if brought back into the XI, will serve as someone who can deliver timely breakthroughs.
Interesting Stats
Mahedi Hasan picked up 3 for 24 in his last outing for the Pokhara Avengers
Yuvraj Samra scored 84 and 102 in his last two innings while opening for the side
Pokhara Avengers Predicted Playing XI:
Yuvraj Samra, Arjun Kumal, Kushal Bhurtel, Sunny BK, Chamika Karunaratne (c), Kiran Thagunna, Ramesh Mendis, Arjun Gharti (wk), Dhananjaya Lakshan, Bipin Khatri, Sagar Dhakal

Kathmandu Gorkhas Preview
The Gorkhas need their best lineup for this game as they aim for the top 2 finish in the points table with a big win here. Sam Heazlett came in for David Warner in the last game to open the innings alongside Bhim Sharki.
It was only the second appearance for Heazlett this season. Sharki and Mohammad Aadil Alam, who came in at 3 in the last game, replacing William Bosisto, haven’t even crossed the 50-run mark in 5 outings so far.
Kathmandu Gurkhas fell short by 7 runs while chasing a 125-run total in their recent match. They will need Warner back into the side if they want to win their last game of the league stage. Alam and Sharki are the lower-order batters who were promoted up the order in the last game.
Rashid Khan and Sahan Arachchige have looked quite promising with a few impressive knocks in the middle order in recent matches. These two will be the key batters to watch in this squad. Skipper Karan KC has tried his hand at batting at number 3 and failed.
Nevertheless, he is a handy option lower down the order and can deliver quick runs at the death. Jahandad Khan will lead the bowling attack for the Gorkhas. Santosh Yadav is another key wicket-taker in the squad to watch. While others haven’t made a huge impact, the likes of Ganesh Gautam and Dushan Hemantha can be crucial with their economical spells.
Interesting Stats
Jahandad Khan has picked up 11 wickets in 6 innings so far
Rashid Khan is among the leading run-scorers with 155 runs in 5 innings
Kathmandu Gorkhas Predicted Playing XI:
David Warner, Sahil Patel (wk), William Bosisto, Sahan Arachchige, Rashid Khan, Bhim Sharki, Karan KC (c), Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Aadil Alam, Santosh Yadav, Ganesh Gautam

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be partly sunny in Kirtipur around the time of the match, with a high of 16 degrees Celsius and humidity rising to 85 per cent as the match progresses. There will be significant cloud cover during the game, and we expect the swing bowlers to find movement through the air, especially in the second innings.

High Turn
It is a bowling-friendly wicket where the average first-innings score in the last 10 matches of the season is 147 runs. Anything over 150-160 runs can be a match-winning total on this ground. However, it won’t be easy to score 160+ comfortably on this wicket. The team batting first has not scored 140+ once in the last 5 games played at this venue in Kirtipur. As such, anything around 140-150 can be a highly competitive first-innings total in this match.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first on this ground have enjoyed a significant edge in the last few games, winning 6 of the last 8 matches. Even the Gorkhas failed to chase down a modest target of 126 runs in their recent outing here. And though Pokhara Avengers failed to defend 132 runs in their last match, their bowling strength should prompt them to opt to bat first in this match.
PKA vs KMG
Winning Prediction
It should be a close encounter between a team looking for a top 2 finish and another team that has nothing to lose. Pokhara could play spoilsport for the Gorkhas. They have a deep batting order and some very promising bowlers in the squad who’ve been quite consistent of late. Nevertheless, Kathmandu Gorkhas boast a stronger batting department and an in-form and varied bowling attack. They will have the upper hand going into this match.
