Everything points towards Kathmandu Gorkhas, who start as strong favourites at 65%.

Kathmandu Gorkhas come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Chitwan Rhinos have won one of their last five. They know these conditions, with three wins from five games at this venue, compared with one from four for Chitwan Rhinos. Their results this season back this up: Kathmandu Gorkhas are 2nd in the table, Chitwan Rhinos 7th.

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.

CR vs KG Pitch Report

Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur

This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground are usually on the low side.

The first-innings average over the last 40 T20 games at this ground is 144, and 133 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 135-150 on the board. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 17 wins to 23 across the last 40 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 83 (BTK, lost), 149/8 (LMB, won), 97/9 (PA, lost), 174/3 (BTK, won), 129/6 (CR, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 126, below the ground average of 144. First-innings totals here have ranged from 83 to 222 in that time.

Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 49% to the seamers and 51% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 8.45 an over and spinners at 6.30, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
