Sudurpaschim Royals have won the toss for the first time in Nepal Premier League (NPL) cricket. In Monday's match against Karnali Yaks, Sudurpaschim won the toss and invited Karnali to bat at the Trivi Cricket Ground, Kirtipur.
This match is very important for both of them in terms of playoff and qualifiers 1 comparison. If Sudoorpaschim wins this match, it will officially become the top team and reach Qualifiers 1. Having won 5 games in 6 games, it is certain that they will be among the top 2 teams before this match with Karnali of Far West, which is in the top position with 10 points.
After losing the first two matches, Karnali is in fourth place with 8 points after winning four matches. The top four teams will qualify for the playoffs, the top two teams will compete in Qualifiers 1 to reach the finals, while the third and fourth teams will play in the eliminators.
After winning over Sudurpaschim, there is a strong possibility that Karnali will enter the top two and reach Qualifiers 1. But with a big loss, Karnali can even be out. Chitwan Rhinos, Karnali and Kathmandu Gurkhas have the same 8 points. Due to good run rate, Chitwan has reached the playoffs as the third team.
If Sudurpaschim completes the target set by Karnali within 12 overs, Karnali will be eliminated and Gurkhaz will be in the top four. If Sudoorpaschim completes the target after 12 overs, Karnali will be safe in the playoffs. After winning by 5 runs against Pokhara Avengers on Sunday, Sudurpaschim has not made any changes in its team. Karnali has played Rit Gautam in place of Younis Vikram Shahi.
