Biratnagar Kings To Win, 1.68
Pokhara won its previous match against Biratnagar in a Super Over. That was an off for Biratnagar and we think it is unlikely to happen again.
Biratnagar’s batting line-up appears much stronger compared to that of Pokhara.
Both teams failed to qualify for the playoffs last year. There are clear weaknesses in both teams that can be exploited.
BK vs PKA Betting Tips
Faf du Plessis to score over 23.5 runs
Faf du Plessis will be making his NPL debut this year. He is among the most experienced T20 batsmen out there and has been in good form during his most recent outings. We are backing him to play a big knock in this match.
Basir Ahmed to score Over 12.5 runs
Basir Ahmed was the leading run-scorer for Biratnagar last season and has an average of over 36 runs. He scored at least 13 runs in 5 of his last 6 innings in the NPL and is likely to continue playing well this season, too.

BK vs PA Team Previews
Biratnagar Kings
The Biratnagar Kings weren’t in the best of form last year, managing to win only two of the 7 games played during the group stages. Nevertheless, they will look to make a fresh start here and begin the campaign on a positive note.
The biggest news from the Biratnagar camp is the inclusion of Faf du Plessis. Du Plessis is one of the most experienced batsmen in the T20 format and is known for his explosive batting. He will undoubtedly lend a lot of heft to the team’s batting line-up as he joins forces with Martin Guptill, Basir Ahmad, and Lokesh Bam.
Biratnagar has also roped in a few other overseas stars like George Munsey, Shubham Ranjane, and Sam Heazlett, who bring in plenty of experience and talent.
Ace spinner Sandeep Lamichhane continues to lead the team and will be supported by Subash Bhandari and Surya Tamang. Pratish GC, Marchant de Lange, and Narayan Joshi are likely to lead the pace attack.
Biratnagar Kings Expected Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, George Munsey, Martin Guptill, Basir Ahmad, Lokesh Bam (WK), Sandeep Lamichhane (C), Surya Tamang, Subash Bhandari, Pratish GC, Shubham Ranjane, Narayan Joshi

Pokhara Avengers
Much like their opponents, the Pokhara Avengers too were seen struggling last year and finished 7th on the points table. The team has made some changes in their squad since then and hopes to put up a better performance.
While Kushal Bhurtel is likely to headline the batting line-up, Pokhara has made some high-profile international signings in a bid to strengthen the batting line-up. These include Adam Rossington and Jason Roy, both of whom have plenty of experience playing in T20 leagues around the world.
The team has also brought in all-rounder James Neesham, who not only adds depth to the batting but is also a quality bowler. Neesham will join Raymon Reifer in the middle order. Bipin Khatri was Pokhara’s leading wicket-taker last year and will lead the spin department along with Sagar Dhakal and Dinesh Kharel.
The pace attack consists of Aakash Chand, Abhisekh Tiwari, and Sandeep Chettri.
Pokhara Avengers Expected Playing 11
Kushal Bhurtel (C), Adam Rossington (WK), Raymon Reifer, Jason Roy, Sagar Dhakal, Bipin Khatri, Sandeep Chettri, Dinesh Kharel, Kiran Thagunna, Abhisekh Tiwari, Aakash Chand
BK vs PA Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We expect the pitch to be balanced. The ball shows movement off the seam as well as through the air during the Powerplay, and the batsmen need to be careful against the new ball. While things do improve slightly as the ball gets older, anything over 160-170 will be difficult to chase. The spinners can expect some help during the latter half of the innings.
The weather will remain clear with no chance of rain.
BK vs PA: Who Will Win?
Biratnagar Kings start this match as the favorites to win. They have one of the strongest batting units in the league and a well-balanced bowling unit that gives them an edge.
Bet on Biratnagar Kings to win.
