Pokhara Avengers ended their last season campaign on a positive note, defeating Chitwan Rhinos by eight wickets in their final match. Chasing a target of 121, Pokhara reached 121/2 in 19.4 overs to secure a comfortable victory.
With the bat, Kushal Bhurtel was one of Pokhara's leading run-scorers last season, accumulating 156 runs. Dinesh Kharel contributed 58 runs, while Dhananjaya Lakshan scored 53 runs in the tournament. These batters will be important to Pokhara's plans as they begin their new campaign against Sudur Paschim Royals.
With the ball, Dhananjaya Lakshan was Pokhara's leading wicket-taker, claiming 10 wickets in three matches. Bipin Khatri also made a significant contribution, taking eight wickets in six matches. Kushal Bhurtel chipped in with five wickets across seven matches, adding another option to the bowling attack.
Pokhara Avengers will look to build on the momentum of their final-match victory last season and make a strong start to the 2026 campaign. Their combination of experienced batters and wicket-taking bowlers will be key as they take on Sudur Paschim Royals.

Sudur Paschim Royals began their Nepal Premier League 2026 campaign with a seven-wicket defeat against Lumbini Lions. Batting first, Sudur Paschim were bowled out for 87 in 17.2 overs, and Lumbini chased down the target in just 9.5 overs.
With the bat, captain Dipendra Singh Airee top-scored with 27 runs off 23 balls, while Anil Kharel remained unbeaten on 15 off 26 deliveries. Saif Zaib added 13 runs off 14 balls, but the batting lineup struggled to build partnerships and was unable to post a competitive total.
With the ball, Anil Kharel picked up two wickets for nine runs in his two overs, while Dipendra Singh Airee claimed one wicket for 31 runs in 3.5 overs. The bowling unit will need greater support from the rest of the attack after Lumbini Lions completed the chase with plenty of overs to spare.
Sudur Paschim Royals will look to improve their batting performance and make better use of their bowling resources in the upcoming fixture. A stronger start with the bat and more consistent contributions across the lineup will be important as they seek their first win of the season.

The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground has an average first-innings score of 149 and a second-innings average of 127 across 65 T20 matches, making it a moderate-scoring venue that generally favours batting first. However, in the only NPL 2026 match played here so far, the first-innings score was just 87, and the chasing team won after scoring 88. A first-innings total of 145-160 could be competitive based on the overall venue record.
Score Prediction
If Pokhara Avengers bat first: 145-160 runs
If Sudur Paschim Royals bat first: 135-150 runs
The overall T20 record at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground slightly favours teams batting first, with 35 wins compared to 28 wins for teams bowling first. However, the only match played at the venue in the ongoing NPL 2026 season saw the chasing side win after the team batting first was dismissed for 87. Considering the latest match at this venue and the low first-innings total, the captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.
Toss Prediction: Sudur Paschim Royals to win the toss.
It is going to be an even contest between these two balanced sides, the Sudurpaschim Royals one of the best teams in the NPL fumbled in the last match despite having a strong batting lineup, we expect them to bounce back in this fixture and outclass the Pokhara Avengers to get their first win of the season.
Sudurpaschim Royals to win the match.
