Biratnagar Kings take on Karnali Yaks in the 16th match of Nepal Premier League 2025 on November 28, 2025, at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur, starting at 3:45 PM IST (1:15 PM local). Biratnagar Kings sit second after their first loss to Chitwan Rhinos, while Karnali Yaks struggle with inconsistency in chases and middle-order collapses. The pitch supports seamers early with batting-friendly conditions later, favoring totals around 160-170.
Biratnagar Kings boast a strong batting lineup led by Lokesh Bam and George Munsey for explosive starts, backed by Sam Heazlett and Shubham Ranjane. Sandeep Lamichhane anchors bowling with 9 wickets, supported by Marchant de Lange and Surya Tamang for middle-over control. Their depth makes them favorites despite the recent defeat.
Karnali Yaks depend on Sompal Kami’s captaincy, Max O’Dowd’s anchoring, and Will Bosisto’s all-round input, but falter in pressure situations like early collapses to 21/3. Mark Watt provides spin variety, with Pawan Sarraf and Nandan Yadav offering support, though batting stability remains a concern. They need a collective effort to compete.
