KNY vs KMG Betting Tips
Priyank Panchal to score over 19.5 runs
Priyank Panchal is the team’s leading run-scorer with 165 runs and has an average of 41.25. He has scored at least 19 runs in two of his last 4 innings, both of which were half-centuries. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock.
Kathmandu Gorkhas Total runs before fall of 1st wicket Under 18.5
While the Kathmandu Gorkhas have played well, the openers have struggled to perform as a pair and have failed to cross the 18-run mark in each of the last 4 matches. We are expecting another poor start for them.

KY vs KG Team Previews
Karnali Yaks
With only one win in four matches, the Karnali Yaks are currently placed 5th on the points table. With only three more matches to play, including this one, they find themselves in a precarious situation.
The Karnali Yaks’ most recent loss came against the Biratnagar Kings. The Yaks batted well to post a score of 160, but it was the bowling that let them down. Priyank Panchal is the team’s best batsman and has scored two half-centuries. He, along with Mark Watt, will look to give the team a strong start.
The middle order has lacked consistency, and that is one of the main reasons for the team’s poor performance. There are some quality batsmen, including Najibullah Zadran and Deepak Dumre, as well as all-rounders, including Sompal Kami, Pawan Sarraf, and Nandan Yadav. However, they haven’t been able to play a big knock.
Coming to the bowling, barring Sompal Kami, none of the bowlers have been able to make an impact. Kami is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 8 wickets and will look for better support from Nandan Yadav and Gulsan Jha.
The spin department consists of William Bosisto, Pawan Sarraf, and Mark Watt. However, they have been expensive at times.
Karnali Yaks Expected Playing 11
Priyank Panchal, Mark Watt, William Bosisto, Sompal Kami (C), Najibullah Zadran, Gulsan Jha, Deepak Dumre (WK), Nandan Yadav, Yuvraj Khatri, Bipin Sharma, Pawan Sarraf

Kathmandu Gurkhas
The Kathmandu Gorkhas come into this contest on the back of consecutive wins and will be feeling confident. A win here will cement its place in the top four.
Aakash Tripathi has done a decent job at the top of the order and will hope to give the team a solid start as he joins Ben Charlesworth at the top of the order. Charlesworth has struggled, averaging just under 20 runs. However, he is an experienced campaigner, and it’s just a matter of time before he gets going.
In the middle order, John Campbell scored an excellent half-century on Friday and is the leading run-scorer for the team. He will be joined by Mohammad Aadil Alam, Santosh Yadav, and Gerhard Erasmus. Karan KC and Rashid Khan form a strong new-ball pair and have picked up 15 wickets between them.
The Kathmandu Gorkhas’ spin department is pretty strong and will be led by Milind Kumar and Shahab Alam.
Kathmandu Gurkhas Expected Playing 11
Aakash Tripathi, Ben Charlesworth, Rashid Khan, John Simpson (WK), Milind Kumar, Santosh Yadav, Gerhard Erasmus, Mohammad Aadil Alam, Karan KC (C), Shahab Alam, Dipesh Kandel
KY vs KG Toss Prediction
5 of the last 8 matches played here were won while batting first. We, therefore, think that winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Kirtipur is likely to be firm and well-rolled, offering good bounce and pace. The batsmen will be able to play their shots, and they will look to target the quicker bowlers. There are plenty of rough patches on the surface, and the slower bowlers will target them to get some spin.
A score of around 170 is a par score on this ground. The weather is likely to be cloudy, but there is no forecast for rain. The temperature will remain around 16 degrees.
KY vs KG: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Kathmandu Gorkhas to win this match. They have won consecutive matches and have a strong batting line-up to support their winning momentum. On the other hand, the Karnali Yaks have struggled in all departments and will find it difficult to win.
Bet on Kathmandu Gurkhas to win.
