KY vs LL Team Previews
Karnali Yaks
The Karnali Yaks didn’t get the start they were hoping for, as they were defeated by the Chitwan Rhinos in their opening fixture. However, these are still early days in the tournament, and they will look to turn things around.
The Karnali Yaks have a strong opening pair in the form of Priyank Panchal and Max O’Dowd. The duo gave the team a strong start in the previous match and will hope to do the same on Saturday as well. Panchal, in particular, was in excellent form as he scored 90 runs in just 48 deliveries.
The team has two string middle-order batsmen in Najibullah Zadran and Arjun Gharti, while Sompal Kami, Pawan Sarraf, and Unish Singh are the all-rounders who add depth to the batting.
The Karnali Yaks boast of a balanced bowling unit where the pace department will be led by Sompal Kami and Gulsan Jha, while Yuvraj Khatri and Mark Watt lead the spin department.
Karnali Yaks Expected Playing 11
Priyank Panchal, Max O’Dowd, Najibullah Zadran, Sompal Kami (C), Unish Singh, Arjun Gharti (WK), Yuvraj Khatri, Gulsan Jha, Mark Watt, Nandan Yadav, Pawan Sarraf

Lumbini Lions
The Lumbini Lions made a winning start to the campaign as they defeated the Chitwan Rhinos in their opening game. They will now hope to continue playing with the same intensity and keep the winning momentum going.
The Lumbini Lions are unlikely to make any changes in their playing XI and will continue opening with D’Arcy Short and Sundeep Jora. The duo gave Lumbini a brisk start and appeared to be in decent form. D’Arcy Short is known for his explosive batting, and if he gets going, Lumbini could score plenty of runs during Powerplay.
Lumbini has included plenty of all-rounders in the squad like JJ Smit, Gulbadin Naib, and Rohit Kumar Paudel, who not only add depth to the batting but also provide excellent bowling options when the need arises.
Ruben Trumpelmann bowled an excellent spell with the new ball in the previous match and picked up three wickets, playing an important role in his team’s victory. He will have the support of Gulbadin Naib and Smit in the pace department. Abhishesh Gautam and Sher Malla will lead the spin attack.
Lumbini Lions Expected Playing 11
D’Arcy Short, Sundeep Jora, Gulbadin Naib, Rohit Paudel (C), JJ Smit, Sameer Ali Musa(WK), Sher Malla, Ruben Trumpelmann, Dinesh Adhikari, Abhishesh Gautam, Dilip Nath
KY vs LL Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. Since this match will be played in the morning, dew will not be much of a factor, and the surface will most likely remain the same throughout the match.
The seamers will get some help with the new ball, and there will be movement off the seam. However, as the match progresses, batting will become easier. A score of around 170 is a par score here.
The weather will remain clear with pleasant temperatures of around 19 degrees.
KY vs LL: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Lumbini Lions to win this match. They are coming into this contest on the back of an excellent win against the Chitwan Rhinos and will be feeling confident. They have a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling unit that gives them an edge.
Bet on Lumbini Lions to win.
