There is very little between these two sides. We give Janakpur Bolts a narrow edge, at 52% to win.

This season Janakpur Bolts have won one of their two games, a better return than Biratnagar Kings (one from three), even if they are 5th in the table to Biratnagar Kings' 4th.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 140, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
