Biratnagar Kings Opt to Bowl After Winning Toss Against Chitwan Rhinos

Biratnagar Kings won the toss and elected to field against Chitwan Rhinos in the 12th match of the Nepal Premier League (NPL) today, Wednesday, at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur. This decision sent Chitwan Rhinos in to bat first to commence the day’s play.

The Biratnagar Kings team enters the fixture with a strong momentum, having secured three consecutive victories in their previous matches. They currently sit second in the league table, and a win today would further extend their unbeaten run and solidify their position among the top contenders.

Chitwan Rhinos, led by Captain Kushal Malla, is placed fourth in the standings with one win from two matches played so far. The team is seeking a crucial win to improve their record and climb the points table as the tournament moves into its middle stages. Their performance in this match will be vital in determining their immediate trajectory.

The pitch conditions at Kirtipur are historically known to offer some assistance to bowlers, particularly seam bowlers, although a good temperament from batsmen is expected to yield a competitive total. The average first-innings score at this ground suggests a target of around 150 runs will likely be contested by both sides.
