Kathmandu Gorkhas are expected to win the toss and bat first. Chasing sides fell short in both recent Kirtipur games on record here: Chitwan stalled on 170/7 after being set 181, and Janakpur were bowled out for 93 chasing 121. No pitch or dew details were supplied, but setting a target looks the stronger play.
No official pitch report had been issued when this was written. The two latest games at Kirtipur point in different directions: Kathmandu made 180/8 and Chitwan replied with 170/7, while Sudur Paschim managed only 120/9 and Janakpur folded for 93. The forecast totals of 180+ and 170+ lean towards a batting surface, but a defendable score has clearly been enough.
This weather report is thin because no forecast, temperature or dew figures were supplied. Both recent Kirtipur matches were day-night games and both ran their full course, with Janakpur bowled out in 19.5 overs, so there is no sign of rain disruption. Dew could matter for a night chase, which is one more reason to expect a bat-first decision.
Karan KC captains Kathmandu Gorkhas, and his side’s form line of L W W W W shows a team that recovered quickly. In their last game at Kirtipur they defended 180/8 against Chitwan Rhinos, winning by 10 runs, which says plenty about how he manages a total.
David Warner is the key batter and our pick for top run-scorer, most sixes and Player of the Match in this KAG vs SPR preview . A first-innings 180+ is forecast, matching what they posted last time. William Bosisto and Sahil Patel add depth in the squad. Sahan Arachchige is the key bowler, with Santosh Yadav tipped to take the most wickets. Rashid Khan, the key all-rounder, was Player of the Match last time with 52 off 30 balls, so he can change a game with the bat before the ball.

Dipendra Singh Airee captains Sudur Paschim Royals, whose form reads W L W W W. On November 10 he defended a modest 120/9 against Janakpur Bolts and won by 27 runs, a sign that his bowling plans hold up when runs are short.
Brandon McMullen is the key batter and our pick for the Royals’ top run-scorer and most sixes, with 170+ forecast. That is a big step up from the 120/9 they managed last time, so the batting needs to find another gear. Saif Zaib, Binod Bhandari and Ishan Pandey are in the squad.
Scott Kuggeleijn, the key bowler, was Player of the Match with 3/13 in that win, and Airee himself is tipped as top wicket-taker. Tharindu Ratnayake is the key all-rounder. No confirmed playing XI was available, so their final balance is still open.

Our call is Kathmandu Gorkhas at 53% over Sudur Paschim Royals at 47%. They have the better recent run, Warner at the top and Rashid in the middle. The Royals’ 2-0 head-to-head lead and Kuggeleijn’s form keep it a narrow edge, not a lock. Can Karan KC’s side turn the record around, or will Airee’s Royals make it three in a row?
