SPR vs BK Betting Tips
Binod Bhandari to score Over 18.5 runs
Binod Bhandari is the leading run-scorer for the Royals this season and has an average of over 33. He has scored at least 19 runs in three of his last 4 innings, including a half-century, and we are backing him to play a good knock.
Biratnagar Kings total runs before fall of 1st wicket Over 21.5
The Biratnagar Kings are likely to open their batting with Sam Heazlett and Faf du Plessis. They gave the team a solid start in the last match, scoring individual half-centuries, and we reckon they will continue to do well.

SR vs BK Team Previews
Sudurpaschim Royals
Much like the previous season, the Sudurpaschim Royals were the best team in the current season as well. They won 6 of their 7 matches during the group stages and finished at the top of the points table.
Binod Bhandari has been the team’s best batsman so far and has scored 201 runs at an average of over 33 runs in 7 innings. He will look to give the team a strong start as he joins Josh Brown at the top of the order.
The middle order looks pretty solid as well, with Chris Lynn, Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, and Ishan Pandey contributing during the various stages of the tournament. Abinash Bohara is the team’s best bowler with 14 wickets and will continue to lead the pace department. He will have the support of Scott Kuggeleijn with the new ball.
Talking about the spin attack, Harmeet Singh has bowled brilliantly to pick up 10 wickets.

Biratnagar Kings
The Biratnagar Kings were among the worst-performing teams last year and managed to win only 2 of the 7 matches played. However, they have scripted a remarkable turnaround this year to finish second on the table.
The Biratnagar Kings’ latest win came on Saturday against the Sudurpaschim Royals, and the team will hope to emulate that performance on Tuesday as well. Sam Heazlett and Faf du Plessis gave the team a solid start in the previous match, scoring 97 runs for the first wicket.
The middle order has a couple of big hitters as well, in the form of Martin Guptill, Basir Ahamad, and Lokesh Bam. However, the batting lower down the order has been a bit inconsistent, and that is one area while the team needs to improve up on.
Coming to the bowling, Sandeep Lamichhane has been in excellent form and has picked up 15 wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. However, he will expect better support from Surya Tamang and Basir Ahamad. The pace department will be led by Marchant de Lange, who will be joined by Pratis GC with the new ball.
Biratnagar Kings Expected Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Sam Heazlett, Martin Guptill, Lokesh Bam (WK), Pratis GC, Basir Ahamad, Shankar Rana, Naren Bhatta, Surya Tamang, Sandeep Lamichhane (C), Marchant de Lange
SR vs BK Toss Prediction
9 of the last 12 matches played here were won while chasing. We, therefore, think that the team winning the toss will likely opt to field first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Kirtipur is likely to be balanced. The average first-inning score here in the last 10 matches is around 160. There are some patches of green grass on the surface, and the seamers will look to get some movement off the seam by pitching the ball in those areas.
The batsmen need to be careful while playing the big shots. The weather will remain clear with temperatures around 15 degrees.
SR vs BK: Who Will Win?
The Sudurpaschim Royals and Biratnagar Kings are two of the best teams this season, and we are expecting a cracking contest between them. While there is no clear favourite, we reckon that the Sudurpaschim Royals have a slight edge here thanks to a deep batting line-up.
Bet on Sudurpaschim Royals to win.
