Chitwan Rhinos vs Kathmandu Gorkhas Toss Prediction
The toss is likely to go in Kathmandu Gorkhas’ favour, and they are expected to bat first. With a late-afternoon start, dew could creep in later, but a strong opening platform from Warner would let KAG post a total and put the Rhinos under pressure. Recent Kirtipur games have also seen chasing sides fall well short, which supports setting a target.
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur Pitch Report
No official pitch report has been supplied, so recent games on this ground are the best guide. Kathmandu made 160/8 here and then bowled Lumbini out for 124, while Pokhara fell to 121 chasing 152 against Chitwan. Both chases ended well short, suggesting batters need time to settle and that a total near 160 is competitive. Bowlers who hit a disciplined length should find reward.
Weather Report
A confirmed temperature and dew forecast is not available for Kirtipur yet. The 4:15 PM IST start means the game begins in daylight and finishes under lights, so some evening dew is possible and could help batters in the second innings. Fans should check the local forecast near the toss, as conditions may shape the captains’ decisions.

Chitwan Rhinos vs Kathmandu Gorkhas Team Preview & Squads
Chitwan Rhinos
Sikandar Raza leads Chitwan Rhinos (CHR) with high momentum following a convincing 30-run victory over Pokhara Avengers, where they defended 151/6 by dismissing the Avengers for 121. His tactical composure, astute field management, and smart bowler rotation will be critical against a dangerous Kathmandu line-up. Raza’s ability to control key phases of the game will determine whether the Rhinos can sustain their winning run.
Dawid Malan anchors the Chitwan Rhinos’ lineup as the key batter, projected to be both their top run-scorer and leading six-hitter. While key contributors like Ravi Bopara, Kushal Malla, and Arjun Saud provide crucial depth, the overall structure of the innings relies on Malan laying a stable foundation. His ability to build a platform will allow the surrounding middle order to express themselves freely.
Rijan Dhakal is the lead bowler, and Kamal Airee is expected to take the most wickets for the side. Dan Mousley is the key all-rounder, offering useful balance, so this attack can restrict KAG if the new-ball bowlers strike early.
Chitwan Rhinos Squads
Arjun Saud, Dawid Malan, Ravi Bopara, Dan Mousley, Kushal Malla, Sikandar Raza, Bibek Yadav, Kamal Airee, Rijan Dhakal, Ranjit Kumar, Mousom Dhakal
Kathmandu Gorkhas
Karan KC captains KAG and doubles as the team’s key all-rounder, so his impact is felt both in the field and with the ball. His side beat Lumbini Lions by 36 runs in their last game, and that confidence suits a captain who likes to be proactive.
David Warner is the headline name, tipped as top run-scorer, most sixes hitter and Player of the Match. With Sahil Patel, William Bosisto and Sahan Arachchige in support, the top order has the firepower to chase 170 or more on the board.
Jahandad Khan is the key bowler, and Rashid Khan’s presence gives the attack extra quality through the middle overs. Predicted top wicket-taker Shahab Alam is not named in the supplied squad list, so check the final playing XI before picking him in fantasy teams.
Kathmandu Gorkhas Squads
Sahil Patel, David Warner, Karan KC, Sahan Arachchige, William Bosisto, Rashid Khan, Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Aadil Alam, Santosh Yadav, Bhim Sharki
