SR vs BK Team Previews

Sudurpaschim Royals

The Sudurpaschim Royals are the most consistent team this season and have won each of their 6 matches so far. While it has already qualified for the playoffs, a win here will ensure a top-two finish for them.

The Royals’ batting has been one of its biggest strengths. Binod Bhandari has been brilliant at the top of the order and is the team’s leading run-scorer. He is likely to continue opening the batting alongside Chris Lynn. The latter scored an excellent half-century in the previous match.

The middle order consists of Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, Ishan Pandey, and Dipak Bohara. All of them have chipped in with valuable contributions throughout the tournament. The Sudurpaschim Royals arguably have the strongest pace attack in the league.

Abinash Bohara is the joint-highest wicket-taker of the season and will be supported by Scott Kuggeleijn, Hemant Dhami, and Dipendra Singh Airee. Harmeet Singh has picked up 9 wickets and will lead the spin department.

Biratnagar Kings

With 4 wins in 6 games, the Biratnagar Kings are placed third on the table and are well placed to make it to the playoffs. Nevertheless, they will be desperate to win here to remain in the race for a top-two finish.

Biratnagar’s form has seen a slight dip over the last week as the team has lost two of its last three matches. Their latest loss came on Wednesday against the Lumbini Lions. With Faf du Plessis joining the King’s batting line-up, they do seem to have a strong opening pair in the form of George Munsey and du Plessis.

However, they were unable to make much of an impact in the previous match. Lokesh Bam and Basir Ahamad continue to be the team’s best bet in the middle order as they are the top two run-getters for the team.

In addition, the team will employ the services of Sam Heazlett and Sahil Patel, while the all-rounders Pratis GC and Narayan Joshi add depth to the batting. Sandeep Lamichhane is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament and will be joined by Subash Bhandari in the spin department.

Marchant de Lange continues to lead the attack with the new ball alongside Pratis GC and Narayan Joshi.

SR vs BK Toss Prediction

In each of the last 4 matches played here, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

We are expecting a good batting surface for this match. The average first-inning score here over the last few days is around 170, and that is a par score. The seamers can expect some movement early on, but as the match progresses, batting gets easier. The spinners will get some turn if they hit the right areas.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures of under 20 degrees.

SR vs BK: Who Will Win?

The Biratnagar Kings started off well but seem to have lost some of their form in the last few days. On the other hand, the Sudurpaschim Royals are playing like a well-oiled machine and are doing well in all departments.

Bet on Sudurpaschim Royals to win.
