Chitwan Rhinos vs Pokhara Avengers Toss Prediction
The Rhinos are forecast to call correctly at the toss and elect to set the target. A big total gives their bowlers a cushion, and the predicted 180+ would test a Pokhara side that has lost its recent games. Dew and pitch behaviour will shape the call, so captains should read conditions at the toss. Backing bat first is bold, but this prediction leans that way.
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur Pitch Report
Pitch details for this CHR vs POA game have not been confirmed. Both teams’ latest matches at Kirtipur were won by the side chasing, with Chitwan making 129/6 and Pokhara 97/9 while batting first. That is a skeptical note for the predicted bat-first plan, though the forecast scores of 180+ and 170+ point to a surface that can still reward strong strokeplay.
Weather Report
Weather and dew details for this fixture are not yet confirmed, so expectations stay cautious. A late-afternoon start in Nepal means the game may run into the evening, when dew could help the side batting second. Captains will watch the sky closely, and any interruption would favour the side with stronger power-hitters. Check updates before the toss.

Chitwan Rhinos vs Pokhara Avengers Team Preview & Squads
Chitwan Rhinos
Sikandar Raza captains Chitwan Rhinos and fills the key all-rounder role, so his tactical choices and his own contributions both matter. The Rhinos posted 129/6 against Sudur Paschim Royals on November 02 and lost by five wickets with 20 balls left, so Raza will want a sharper response.
Ravi Bopara is the key batter, while Dawid Malan is our pick as top run-scorer, leading six-hitter and Player of the Match. Dev Khanal, Kushal Malla and Arjun Saud add depth, so 180+ looks achievable if the top order gets going.
Ranjit Kumar is the key bowler, and Mousom Dhakal is tipped to lead the wicket tally. Raza adds all-round balance, while Tom Taylor, Rijan Dhakal and Salahuddin Khan give Chitwan extra options, which could decide this tactical battle.

Pokhara Avengers
Kushal Bhurtel captains Pokhara Avengers and is also our pick as their top run-scorer, so he carries a heavy load. Pokhara posted just 97/9 against Lumbini Lions on November 03 and lost by eight wickets with 50 balls left, so rebuilding confidence is the first job.
Sadeera Samarawickrama is the key batter, with Bhurtel tipped for the most sixes. Arjun Gharti, Arjun Kumal and Chamika Karunaratne add depth, but after that collapse the order needs far more stability to reach the predicted 170+.
Bipin Khatri is the key bowler and Mahedi Hasan the key all-rounder, while Shakib Al Hasan is tipped to lead the wicket tally. Mohammad Saifuddin and Sagar Dhakal add squad depth, though three straight defeats raise fair questions.
