At the ongoing Siddhartha Bank Nepal Premier League (NPL) cricket tournament being held at the TU Cricket Ground in Kathmandu, Lumbini Lions will take on Janakpur Bolts today. The match is scheduled to begin at 4 PM.
With 6 points from 6 matches, today’s game is extremely important for Lumbini as a win will secure their place in the playoffs. If Lumbini wins, Pokhara Avengers, Chitwan Rhinos, and Janakpur Bolts will be eliminated from playoff contention.
Defending champions Janakpur have struggled this season, managing only 2 points from their five matches so far.
On Thursday, Kathmandu Gorkhas secured their playoff spot after defeating Pokhara Avengers, thanks to a brilliant bowling spell from Shahab Alam, who took a hat-trick and claimed 6 wickets.
Sudurpaschim Royals, who have won all six of their matches, remain at the top of the table and have already secured their place in the first qualifier.
