JKB vs BK Betting Tips
Martin Guptill to score Over 23.5
Martin Guptill is among the most experienced players in the league. He has been in good form, scoring at least 25 runs in both his outings. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock.
Nicol Loftie-Eaton to score Under 15.5 runs
Nicol Loftie-Eaton hasn’t been in the best of form in his recent outings. He hasn’t been able to cross the 15-run mark in any of the last 8 games, and we expect his rough patch to extend.

JB vs BK Team Previews
Janakpur Bolts
The Janakpur Bolts lost their opening game and are currently in the bottom half of the points table. They will be desperate to turn things around here.
A lot will depend on Lahiru Milantha’s batting. He was the leading run-scorer of the previous season but didn’t make much of an impact in the opening fixture. Nevertheless, he will continue to open the batting alongside Aasif Sheikh.
The latter scored a half-century in the previous match and will hope to do the same in this match. There are a couple of good batsmen in the middle order, including Nicol Loftie-Eaton and Anil Sah. However, they weren’t able to make much of an impact in the previous match.
There are some good all-rounders coming lower down the order who can play the big shots. The Bolts have a well-balanced bowling unit where Lalit Rajbanshi, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, and Anil Sah will feature in the spin department, while Lahiru Samarakoon, Kishore Mahato, and Bikash Agari will lead the pace attack.
Janakpur Bolts Expected Playing 11
Lahiru Milantha (WK), Aasif Sheikh, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Anil Sah (C), Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Mayan Yadav, Lahiru Samarakoon, Rupesh Singh, Kishore Mahato, Bikash Agari, Lalit Rajbanshi

Biratnagar Kings
The Biratnagar Kings have enjoyed a perfect start to their campaign as they won both their opening matches. As a result, the team is sitting at the top of the points table with the best NRR among all teams.
Biratnagar’s latest win came against the Kathmandu Gorkhas on Saturday. Marchant de Lange played an important role with the ball in that win and is the leading run-scorer for Biratnagar with 4 wickets. He continues to lead the pace attack alongside Shubham Ranjane, Pratis GC, Naren Bhatta, and Narayan Joshi.
The Kings boast of a strong pace department and will look to pick up early wickets in this match. Sandeep Lamichhane is among the most experienced spinners in the league and will feature in the spin department , supported by Surya Tamang.
Coming to the batting, Lokesh Bam and George Munsey will continue to open the batting for Biratnagar and will hope to give the team a brisk start. The middle order has some brilliant T20 players like Martin Guptill and Basir Ahmad, while the all-rounders, Shubham and Naren Bhatta, add depth to the batting.
Biratnagar Kings Expected Playing 11
Lokesh Bam (WK), George Munsey, Martin Guptill, Basir Ahamad, Shubham Ranjane, Naren Bhatta, Sandeep Lamichhane (C), Surya Tamang, Marchant de Lange, Pratis GC, Narayan Joshi
JB vs BK Toss Prediction
3 of the last 4 matches played here were won while chasing. We, therefore, feel that bowling first might be the better option.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We are expecting a balanced pitch for this match. The surface has some green patches, and the seamers will get some movement with the new ball. However, the batsmen will be able to play their shots once they settle down. The spinners will be able to get some turn if they hit the right areas.
The weather will remain pleasant with temperatures around 18 degrees and plenty of sunshine.
JB vs BK: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Biratnagar Kings to win this match. They have been among the most consistent teams in this tournament, and we expect them to continue playing well. Janakpur’s batting hasn’t been up to the mark, and the bowling is a bit inconsistent as well.
Bet on Biratnagar Kings to win.
