Kathmandu Gorkhas vs Pokhara Avengers Toss Prediction
Kathmandu Gorkhas are predicted to win the toss and bat first. Their last game was a chase that fell seven runs short, which is a good reason to set the target this time. No dew or pitch report has been confirmed, so the call rests on the projected totals of 170+ and 160+.
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur Pitch Report
No curator’s report was available at the time of writing, so this pitch report works from recent scores. The totals in our data are modest: 125/6, 118/7, 132 and 136/6. Our projected totals of 170+ and 160+ sit well above those, so we are betting on batters adjusting rather than on anything the surface has shown so far.
No temperature or dew reading was available at the time of writing, so treat this weather report as provisional. The match starts at about 4:30 PM in Nepal, a late-afternoon slot where dew could arrive as the game goes on. Check the local forecast before the toss, since conditions could change the toss decision and the projected totals.
Kathmandu Gorkhas vs. Pokhara Avengers Team Preview & Squads
Karan KC captains a Kathmandu side with recent form of W W W W L. The loss came last time out, when they chased 126 against Sudur Paschim Royals and finished on 118/7. One slip does not undo four wins, but he will want a quick response.
Sam Heazlett is the listed key batter, with Bhim Sharki, Santosh Yadav, Sahan Arachchige and Mohammad Aadil Alam in the squad. Aadil Alam is our pick for top score, most sixes and Player of the Match, and the likely playing XI should aim for 170+.
Jahandad Khan is the key bowler and Dushan Hemantha is the all-rounder who gives Karan balance. Rashid Khan is tipped to lead the wicket-takers, with Sahil Patel and Ganesh Gautam adding support.

Chamika Karunaratne captains Pokhara and is also their key all-rounder, so he carries the load in two departments. Their form reads L L L W L, and the latest result was a four-wicket defeat to Biratnagar Kings after they posted 132.
Yuvraaj Samra is the listed key batter, with Arjun Kumal, Kushal Bhurtel, Arjun Gharti and Sunny BK around him. Samra is predicted to top-score and hit the most sixes, and 160+ looks realistic only if the top order survives the powerplay.
Bhurtel is listed as the key bowler, with Ramesh Mendis tipped to lead the wicket-takers. Dhananjaya Lakshan, Kiran Thagunna, Bipin Khatri and Sagar Dhakal complete the options. Our skepticism is simple: Pokhara have lost both meetings with Kathmandu and four of their last five games.
