Who do you think will win?
Tap a team to vote.
We are backing Kathmandu Gorkhas with some confidence. At 64% to win, they are strong favourites, and Pokhara Avengers will need their best game to cause an upset.
Kathmandu Gorkhas come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Pokhara Avengers have won two of their last five. They know these conditions, with three wins from five games at this venue, compared with one from four for Pokhara Avengers. Their results this season back this up: Kathmandu Gorkhas are 6th in the table, Pokhara Avengers 8th.
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.

PA vs KG 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.
Across the last 40 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 147, with chasing teams averaging 134. Anything in the 140-155 range should make a competitive total. 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: 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: there is not much in it, but most captains will still choose to chase.
