BK vs LL Team Previews

Biratnagar Kings

The Biratnagar Kings are among the most consistent teams this season, winning four of the five matches played so far. They are currently placed second on the points table, and a win here will all but ensure the team’s place in the playoffs.

Lokesh Bam and George Munsey are likely to continue in the opening slot for the Biratnagar Kings in this match. While Bam has played a couple of good knocks, Munsey has struggled and is averaging just 12 runs in 5 innings.

A lot will depend on the batting of Martin Guptill and Basir Ahamad. Ahamad is the leading run-scorer for Biratnagar this year, while Guptill is known for his ability to play the big shots. They will be supported by Sam Heazlett and Sahil Patel.

Biratnagar also have a couple of good all-rounders in Narayan Joshi and Shehan Jayasuriya. Biratnagar’s bowlers have been their biggest strength. Sandeep Lamichhane has led the team from the front, picking up 10 wickets and will be a part of the spin attack along with Heazlett and Ahamad. Marchant de Lange is the team’s best seam bowler with 8 wickets.

Biratnagar Kings Expected Playing 11

Lokesh Bam (WK), George Munsey, Martin Guptill, Basir Ahamad, Narayan Joshi, Sam Heazlett, Sahil Patel, Sandeep Lamichhane (C), Marchant de Lange, Pratis GC, Subash Bhandari

Lumbini Lions

With three losses in five matches, the Lumbini Lions are struggling at the moment and will need to win both their upcoming matches to keep themselves in the race for the playoffs.

Lumbini’s struggles at the top of the order continue as D’Arcy Short and Sumit Maharjan have both been unable to play well against the new ball. This has put additional pressure on the already struggling middle order. That said, Rohit Paudel and Gulbadin Naib have played a couple of good knocks, and a lot will depend on how they bat in this match.

Paudel is the leading run-scorer for Lumbini this season. There are also some experienced batsmen coming in lower down the order like Niroshan Dickwella, Dilip Nath, and Sundeep Jora.

The bowling has been rather inconsistent as well. Ruben Trumpelmann is the leading wicket-taker with 6 wickets, but has been expensive. He will be joined by Naib in the pace department. The spin attack consists of Abhishesh Gautam, Sher Malla, and Tilak Bhandari.

Lumbini Lions Expected Playing 11

Sumit Maharjan, D’Arcy Short, Rohit Paudel (C), Dilip Nath (WK), Sundeep Jora, Gulbadin Naib, Niroshan Dickwella, Sher Malla, Ruben Trumpelmann, Abhishesh Gautam, Tilak Bhandari

BK vs LL Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. The venue has hosted quite a few games over the last couple of weeks, and there are signs of wear and tear. The batsmen need to be careful as the ball tends to keep a bit low at times. The quicker bowlers will rely on variations in length, while the spinners can aim for the rough patches to extract some turn.

Anything over 160 will be difficult to chase here. The weather will remain clear with temperatures under 18 degrees.

BK vs LL: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Biratnagar Kings to win this match. They have been pretty consistent so far, doing well in all departments. On the other hand, Lumbini Lions’ batting hasn’t been at its best, and the bowlers have struggled as well.

Bet on Biratnagar Kings to win.
