It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Chitwan Rhinos, who come out marginally ahead at 52%.
This season Chitwan Rhinos have won one of their two games, a better return than Janakpur Bolts (one from three), even if they are 7th in the table to Janakpur Bolts' 5th.
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 145, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

JB vs CR Pitch Report
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
Runs have not come easily at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, where the bowlers usually find something in the surface.
The first-innings average over the last 40 T20 games at this ground is 147, and 134 in the second innings. A score of 140-155 looks like par on this surface. 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: 97/9 (PA, lost), 174/3 (BTK, won), 129/6 (CR, lost), 180/6 (KY, lost), 147/7 (JB). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 145. First-innings totals here have ranged from 87 to 222 in that time.
Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 56% to the seamers and 44% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 8.64 an over and spinners at 6.77, 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.
