It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Karnali Yaks, who come out marginally ahead at 52%.
Their results this season back this up: Karnali Yaks are 3rd in the table, Sudurpaschim Royals 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 145, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

SPR vs KY 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.
Across the last 40 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 147, 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: 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.
Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 58% of the wickets (21 of 36). Seamers have gone at 7.81 an over and spinners at 6.97, 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.
