LL vs SR Team Previews

Lumbini Lions

After winning the first match of the tournament, the Lumbini Lions have lost back-to-back matches and have dropped down to sixth place on the points table. The team is coming into this match on the back of a 21-run loss against the Kathamandu Gorkhas.

Sundeep Jora and D’Arcy Short haven’t been up to the mark at the top of the order. They have struggled to get going against the new ball, and that has put the middle order under pressure. While skipper Rohit Paudel has played a couple of solid knocks, he has received little support at the other end.

That said, there are some experienced batsmen in the batting line-up, including Gulbadin Naib, Dilip Nath, and JJ Smit, they haven’t to able to make a big score.

Ruben Trumpelmann is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 5 wickets and will be supported by Gulbadin Naib with the new ball. The spin department will be led by Sher Malla and Abhishesh Gautam.

Lumbini Lions Expected Playing 11

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

Sudurpaschim Royals

The Sudurpaschim Royals have been clinical in their performance so far, winning all three matches played. They are currently at the top of the table with the best NRR among all teams.

The Sudurpaschim Royals boast of a strong batting line-up that will be headlined by Josh Brown and Binod Bhandari. The duo has been pretty solid at the top of the order, and the team will expect a good start. However, the Sudurpaschim Royals’ biggest strength comes from the middle order that is made up of Chris Lynn, Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, and Ishan Pandey.

Dipendra Singh is the team’s leading run-scorer and has batted well to score 93 runs. He has also been excellent with the ball, picking up 5 wickets. He, along with Harmeet Singh, forms a strong spin department.

The Royals’ pace attack is very strong too.

Scott Kuggeleijn, Abinash Bohara, and Hemant Dhami have picked up 4 wickets each and will look to pick up early wickets with the new ball.

LL vs SR Toss Prediction

Each of the last three games played here was won while batting first. We, therefore, feel that batting first would be a better option.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Kirtipur has slowed down a bit, and there are a few rough patches. The bowlers need to bowl a bit short to keep the batsmen in the backfoot as any over pitched deliveries could be punished. The team batting first will look to score around 160 runs to give the bowlers something to work with.

The weather is likely to be cloudy, but there is no forecast for rain, and the temperatures will remain around 20 degrees.

LL vs SR: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Sudurpaschim Royals to win this match. They have played well so far and have a couple of solid all-rounders. The team has a strong batting line-up with a well-balanced bowling unit. The Lumbini Lions have struggled and will find it difficult to bounce back against such a tough opponent.

Bet on Sudurpaschim Royals to win.
