KMG vs BK Betting Tips
Lokesh Bam to score Over 18.5 runs
Lokesh Bam has an average of over 25 in his 8 innings in the NPL. He has scored at least 19 runs in 4 of his last 6 NPL innings, including two half-centuries, and we are backing him to play a good knock.
Any player to score a half-century
The pitch at the Kirtipur Stadium is balanced and allows the batsmen to score runs once they settle down. Each of the 5 matches played here this season has seen at least one batsman score a half-century, and we expect that trend to continue.

KG vs BK Team Previews
Kathmandu Gurkhas
The Kathmandu Gorkhas made a winning start to their campaign but were unable to keep the momentum going as they were defeated by the Sudurpaschim Royals on Wednesday. They will now look to turn things around and score a victory here.
The Gorkhas are likely to continue with the opening pair of Ben Charlesworth and Aakash Tripathi for this match. They are the leading run-scorers for the team and will look to give Kathmandu a brisk start. The middle order is made up of Bhim Sharki, John Simpson, and Milind Kumar.
While all of them are talented individuals, the team will need at least a couple of them to stay longer and play a big role. The team also has a couple of all-rounders, including Karan KC and Santosh Yadav. However, they are yet to make a meaningful contribution with the bat.
Karan KC bowled a superb spell in the previous match, picking up 4 wickets, albeit for a losing cause. He will be supported by Rashid Khan in the pace department. The spin attack consists of Santosh Yadav, Shahab Alam, Sunny Patel, and Milind Kumar.
Kathmandu Gurkhas Expected Playing 11
Aakash Tripathi, Ben Charlesworth, John Simpson (WK), Bhim Sharki, Karan KC (C), Milind Kumar, Sunny Patel, Santosh Yadav, Rashid Khan, Shahab Alam, Mohammad Aadil Alam

Biratnagar Kings
The Biratnagar Kings were clinical in their performance during the opening game, defeating the Pokhara Avengers by 53 runs. They are currently placed at the top of the points table.
Lokesh Bam was in sublime form as he scored a half-century at the top of the order on Tuesday. He will look to give the team a solid start as he joins George Munsey. The middle order has some experienced players like Shubham Ranjane and Martin Guptill, both of whom are known for explosive batting.
The Biratnagar Kings also have some quality all-rounders like Narayan Joshi, Pratis GC, and Naren Bhatta, all of whom can add valuable runs during the death overs. The seamers, led by Marchant de Lange, did an excellent job of preventing the Avengers from chasing down the target.
De Lange, Ranjane, and Pratis GC picked up two wickets and will look to make early inroads in Kathmandu’s batting. The spin department will be led by Sandeep Lamichhane and supported by Basir Ahamad and Surya Tamang.
Biratnagar Kings Expected Playing 11
Lokesh Bam (WK), George Munsey, Shubham Ranjane, Martin Guptill, Narayan Joshi, Pratis GC, Naren Bhatta, Sandeep Lamichhane (C), Surya Tamang, Basir Ahamad, Marchant de Lange
KG vs BK Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch is likely to have an even covering of grass, and the new ball will show some movement if the seamers pitch it in the right areas. However, once the ball gets a bit older, playing shots will get easier. The team batting first will look to score anywhere around 160-170 runs.
The weather will remain clear with temperatures around 16 degrees, and we might see some dew during the second half.
KG vs BK: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Biratnagar Kings to win this match. They were in brilliant form during the opening game, and the top order seems to be very strong. The Biratnagar Kings also have a varied and well-balanced bowling attack.
Bet on Biratnagar Kings to win.
