Exciting win for Sudurpaschim over Janakpur in NPL, playoff chances strengthened

Kathmandu. In a low-scoring match played on Tuesday under the Nepal Premier League NPL, Sudurpaschim Royals, inspired by an excellent performance from the bowlers, defeated Janakpur Bolts by 27 runs. Chasing the modest target of 121 runs set by Sudurpaschim, Janakpur Bolts were bowled out for just 93 runs in 19.5 overs.

With this win, Sudurpaschim, who earned their fourth victory in six matches, has moved up to second place in the points table with 8 points and strengthened its chances of reaching the playoffs. Although they have the same number of points, Sudurpaschim is behind top-placed Kathmandu Gorkhas on net run rate. On the other hand, this is Janakpur's fourth loss in six matches in the first edition of the championship. With 4 points and sitting in fifth place, Janakpur's playoff journey is becoming more difficult with this defeat.
