KG vs LL Team Previews

Kathmandu Gurkhas

After winning the opening game, the Kathmandu Gorkhas have suffered back-to-back defeats and have slipped down to the 5th place on the points table. However, they still have plenty of matches to go, and they will hope to turn things around in this match.

Aakash Tripathi and Ben Charlesworth have been the best batsmen for the Kathamandu Gorkhas in this tournament and are also the leading run-scorers for the team. They will hope to give the team a strong start in this match.

The middle order consists of young and experienced players, including Pratik Shreshtha, Ricardo Vasconcelos, Gerhard Erasmus, and Santosh Yadav, while John Simpson and Mohammad Aadil Alam add depth to the batting.

Talking about the bowling, Karan KC and Rashid Khan will lead the pace department. Karan KC is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 6 wickets. The Gorkhas have a strong spin department, consisting of Gerhard Erasmus, Santosh Yadav, and Shahab Alam.

Lumbini Lions

Just like their opponents, the Lumbini Lions are coming into this match on the back of a loss against the Karnali Yaks.

A lot was riding on D’Arcy Short. However, he hasn’t lived up to the expectations so far. Nevertheless, the Lumbini Lions are likely to continue with him at the top of the order along with Sundeep Jora. Rohit Paudel is the team’s leading run-scorer so far, and a lot will depend on his batting during the middle overs.

Paudel will be joined by Dilip Nath and Sumit Maharjan, while all-rounders JJ Smit and Gulbadin Naib add depth to the batting. Lumbini’s bowling has been far from perfect and was one of the key reasons for the team’s poor performance in the previous match.

Ruben Trumpelmann, who is the leading wicket-taker for the team, went wicketless in the previous match. He will be joined by Gulbadin Naib and JJ Smit in the pace department. The spin attack is led by Sher Malla, D’Arcy Short, and Rohit Paudel.

Lumbini Lions Expected Playing 11

D’Arcy Short, Sundeep Jora, Rohit Paudel (C), Dilip Nath (WK), Gulbadin Naib, Sumit Maharjan, Sameer Ali Musa, JJ Smit, Sher Malla, Ruben Trumpelmann, Abhishesh Gautam

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 is likely to be balanced. The seamers have enjoyed some movement off the seam, and the batsmen will have to see off the new ball before they can start playing the big shots. A score of around 170 is a par score. The slower bowlers have to be accurate with their line and length, or they will be punished.

The weather is expected to remain clear with temperatures around 18 degrees.

KG vs LL: Who Will Win?

While both teams have been inconsistent, we are backing the Kathmandu Gorkhas to win this match. They have a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling unit, which gives them an edge. The Lumbini Lions have struggled, especially with the ball, and we reckon they will find it difficult to bounce back.

Bet on Kathmandu Gurkhas to win.
