Karnali Yaks vs Sudur Paschim Royals Toss Prediction
The Yaks are forecast to call correctly at the toss and put runs on the board first. Setting a target in T20 cricket lets a side control the tempo, and the Yaks’ predicted 160+ would give their bowlers something to defend. Dew and pitch behaviour could change that call, so captains should read conditions at the toss. Still, batting first looks the sensible lean here.
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur Pitch Report
Pitch details for this KAY vs SPR clash have not been confirmed. The predicted totals of 160+ and 170+ suggest a surface that rewards positive batting, with bowlers likely to get a say in the middle overs. Both teams played their last matches at Kirtipur, so familiarity with conditions may help. Sides batting first will want a competitive score, while chasers will back clean strokeplay.
Weather Report
Weather and dew details for this fixture are not yet confirmed, so expectations stay cautious. With a start around midday in Nepal, dew is unlikely to be a major factor, though cloud cover or interruptions could change the picture. Captains will watch the sky closely, and a shortened game would favour the side with stronger power-hitters. Check updates before the toss.

Karnali Yaks vs Sudur Paschim Royals Team Preview & Squads
Karnali Yaks
Sompal Kami leads Karnali Yaks and doubles as the key bowler, so his decisions with the ball carry extra weight. On November 02 the Yaks posted 180/6 but lost to Kathmandu Gorkhas by four wickets with two balls left. Sharper planning in the closing overs is the obvious fix.
Ariful Islam is the key batter, while Mark Watt is our pick as the top run-scorer and leading six-hitter. Deepak Dumre, Jishan Alam and Pawan Sarraf add depth, so 160+ looks realistic if the top order sets the platform.
Hussain Talat is the key all-rounder and the predicted top wicket-taker, giving Kami options with bat and ball. With Gulsan Jha, Nandan Yadav and Yuvraj Khatri in the squad, this tactical battle could turn on who handles the middle overs better.

Sudur Paschim Royals
Dipendra Singh Airee captains Sudur Paschim Royals and fills the key all-rounder role, making him central to both planning and execution. The Royals chased 130 against Chitwan Rhinos, finishing 131/5 with 20 balls to spare, a calm performance that points to a side comfortable under pressure.
Brandon McMullen is the key batter and our pick for Player of the Match, top run-scorer and most sixes after his 43 off 21 balls in the last win. Saif Zaib, Sherfane Rutherford and Binod Bhandari add depth, so 170+ looks within reach.
Scott Kuggeleijn is the key bowler, and Airee is tipped to lead the wicket tally as well. Squad depth, including Anil Kharel and Hemant Dhami, gives the Royals a balanced look against a Yaks side that has not yet beaten them.
