Captain: Karan KC

Karan KC (C), Nandan Yadav, Shahab Alam, Dipesh Kandel, Rashid Khan, Bhim Sharki, Uttam Magar, Aakash Tripathi, Santosh Yadav, Tul B Thapa, Bikash Aagri

The Gurkhas rely on their disciplined bowling unit and a mix of promising local batters. Captain Karan KC leads from the front, while Bhim Sharki anchors the batting lineup. Shahab Alam and Dipesh Kandel bring spin options that could be crucial in home conditions.

Lumbini Lions - Probable Playing XI

Captain: Rohit Paudel

Rohit Paudel (C), Sundeep Jora, Aadil Khan (WK), Bishal Patel, Dilip Nath (WK), Bibek Yadav, Durgesh Gupta, Sher Malla, Tilak Bhandari, Abhishesh Gautam, Dinesh Adhikari

PITCH REPORT

The surface at Mulpani usually offers a balanced battle between bat and ball. Batters who play patiently early can score freely once set. Pacers get some movement with the new ball. Spinners come into play in the middle overs. Average first-innings score: 155–165 runs. Best option: Win the toss and bat first to take advantage of a slowing surface later in the day.
