Chasing a target of 269 runs, Karnali Province appeared under pressure. The team could not avoid a big defeat after the top-order batsmen were dismissed cheaply. Karnali failed to perform as expected and surrendered to the Army, scoring just 130 runs in 42.1 overs.

The Army bowlers kept the game under control by constantly pressuring the Karnali batting lineup. For Karnali, Bipin Bikram Shahi Thakuri scored 40 runs in 70 balls and Arjun Gharti Magar scored 32 runs in 58 balls, but that was not enough to compete with the Army.

Among the Army bowlers, Sahab Alam took 3 wickets for 18 runs in 9 overs, while Bashir Ahmed took 3 wickets for 15 runs in 7.1 overs.

Arjun Saud was declared the best player of the match. Saud, who played a century innings, played a decisive role in the team's victory.
