It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Chitwan Rhinos, who come out marginally ahead at 54%.

In the table, Chitwan Rhinos sit 7th with one wins from two, while Pokhara Avengers are 8th. It is not one-way traffic, though: Pokhara Avengers have the better recent form (two wins from their last five games, to one from five for Chitwan Rhinos), so Pokhara Avengers cannot be written off.

Sides batting second have done better at this ground, so expect the toss winner to bowl. A first-innings total of about 150 looks par for this game.

Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur

Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground has generally helped the bowlers, and scores here tend to come in under the usual T20 par.

Across the last 40 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 146, with chasing teams averaging 134. A score of 140-155 looks like par on this surface. Results have been evenly split: 17 wins for the side batting first and 23 for the chasers.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 149/8 (LMB, won), 97/9 (PA, lost), 174/3 (BTK, won), 129/6 (CR, lost), 180/6 (KY, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 146. First-innings totals here have ranged from 87 to 222 in that time.

Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 53% to the seamers and 47% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 8.61 an over and spinners at 6.65, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

With humidity around 82% later in the evening, dew is likely to make the ball skid on and harder to grip in the second innings. Toss call: bowl first. The captain who wins it is likely to put the other side in.
