KY vs BK Team Previews
Karnali Yaks
The Karnali Yaks havenāt been in the best of form and have lost two of the three matches played so far. However, they have four more matches to play, including this one and will hope to turn things around in this match.
Priyank Panchal started off the season in style, but his form has fizzled out in the last couple of games. A solid start will be vital for the Yaks in this match. He will join Mark Watt in the opening slot. The middle order has been rather inconsistent as well. Barring Pawan Sarraf, none of the batsmen have been able to make a significant contribution.
That said, there are a couple of experienced players, including Najibullah Zadran, Arjun Gharti, and William Bosisto. The team will need them to bat better going ahead. Sompal Kami and Nandan Yadav form a decent new-ball pair and have picked up 10 wickets between them.
They will be joined by Gulsan Jha and Bipin Sharma in the pace department. The spin attack consists of Yuvraj Khatri, William Bosisto, and Mark Watt.
Karnali Yaks Expected Playing 11
Priyank Panchal, Mark Watt, William Bosisto, Najibullah Zadran, Pawan Sarraf, Sompal Kami (C), Arjun Gharti (WK), Gulsan Jha, Nandan Yadav, Yuvraj Khatri, Bipin Sharma

Biratnagar Kings
After enjoying a perfect start to their campaign, the Biratnagar Kings endured their first defeat of the season as they were comprehensively defeated by the Chitwan Rhinos on Wednesday. As a result, they have slipped down to the second spot on the points table.
Lokesh Bam and George Munsey, who have been giving Biratnagar good starts this year, failed to get going in the previous match, and that put pressure on the middle order and the team lost the match by a massive margin.
That said, the Biratnagar Kings have a strong middle order that is made up of experienced played like Sam Heazlett and Martin Guptill, who are known for their explosive brand of batting. The team also has some good all-rounders like Pratis GC, Shubham Ranjane, and Basir Ahamad, who can add runs during the death overs.
Sandeep Lamichhane has been excellent with the ball, picking up 9 wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Lamichhane will be joined by Surya Tamang in the spin department. Marchant de Lange and Ranjane form a solid pace attack and have picked up 12 wickets between them.
Biratnagar Kings Expected Playing 11
Lokesh Bam (WK), George Munsey, Sam Heazlett, Shubham Ranjane, Pratis GC, Basir Ahamad, Marchant de Lange, Sandeep Lamichhane (C), Naren Bhatta, Surya Tamang, Narayan Joshi
KY vs BK Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Stadium isnāt the easiest to bat on. The batsmen need to treat the deliveries on their merit. The batsmen need to attack the seamers as the slower bowlers have enjoyed better success in the last couple of matches.
The surface has some rough patches, and if the ball pitches there, it could turn quite a bit. The weather will remain cold with plenty of dew in the second half.
KY vs BK: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Biratnagar Kings to win this match. While they did lose the previous match, they remain one of the strongest teams in the league with a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling unit. Karnali Yaks havenāt been consistent and could struggle against such a tough opponent.
Bet on Biratnagar Kings to win.
