KMG vs LBL Betting Tips
Ben Charlesworth to score over 20.5 runs
Ben Charlesworth is the leading run-scorer for Kathmandu this year and has an average of over 28 runs in 7 innings. He has scored at least 21 runs in 4 of those games, including a half-century, and we are backing him to play a good knock.
Kathmandu Gorkhas Total runs before fall of 1st wicket Under 17.5
While the Gorkhas have played well in the past week, they have been unable to get a good start. In 4 of the last 5 matches, the opening pair has failed to cross the 17-run mark, and we reckon they will be unable to do so here as well.

KG vs LL Team Previews
Kathmandu Gurkhas
The Kathmandu Gorkhas narrowly missed out on reaching the playoffs last year. However, they put up a much better performance this time around and managed to finish third on the points table.
Kathmandu is coming into this contest on the back of four consecutive wins, the latest of which came against Pokhara on Thursday. Ben Charlesworth has been pretty consistent at the top of the order and will look to give the team a solid start in this match. He looked in particularly good form in the previous match as he scored a solid half-century.
Charlesworth will be joined by Aakash Tripathi at the top of the order. The middle order has a couple of in-form batsmen like Josh Simpson and Milind Kumar who can add valuable runs during the middle overs. Bhim Sharki scored a half-century on Thursday as well and will add depth to the batting.
Karan KC is the teamās joint-highest wicket-taker with 12 wickets and will lead the pace department along with Rashid Khan and Mohammad Aadil Alam. Shahab Alam bowled a brilliant spell in the previous match to pick up 6 wickets and will lead the spin attack, supported by Milind Kumar.
Kathmandu Gurkhas Expected Playing 11
Ben Charlesworth, Aakash Tripathi, Milind Kumar, Sunny Patel, John Simpson (WK), Rashid Khan, Bhim Sharki, Karan KC (C), Santosh Yadav, Shahab Alam, Mohammad Aadil Alam

Lumbini Lions
The Lumbini Lions ended with the wooden spoon last year but have managed to script a remarkable turnaround this season, finishing fourth on the points table. However, the team faces a tough journey ahead and will have to put their best foot forward.
Sumit Maharjan and DāArcy Short will continue to open the batting for Lumbini Lions. Short has been in good form in the last couple of matches, and if he gets going, the Lions could post a big score during the Powerplay.
Rohit Paudel is the teamās best batsman so far and will be the key player in the middle order. He will be joined by Niroshan Dickwella, Sundeep Jora, and Dilip Nath. Sher Malla is the leading run-scorer for Lumbini with 10 wickets and will be joined by Abhishesh Gautam and Tilak Bhandari.
Ruben Trumpelmann has picked up 8 wickets and will lead the attack with the new ball with JJ Smit.

KG vs LL Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Kirtipur isnāt the easiest to bat on. There are plenty of rough patches, and the bowlers will be able to exploit them to get some movement. The spinners played an important role in the last few matches, and we expect that trend to continue.
That said, once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier. A score of around 150 is a par score. The weather will remain clear with temperatures of between 15 and 17 degrees.
KG vs LL: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Kathmandu Gorkhas to win this match. They have been playing well over the past week and have a good momentum behind them. The team has a strong batting unit and a well-rounded bowling attack, which will be a big advantage for them.
Bet on Kathmandu Gurkhas to win.
