Match number 19 of the Nepal Premier League 2024 (NPL 2024) will determine the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. Lumbini Lions have participated in the most matches, having played five group games. Of those five, they have achieved only one victory in their last game against Chitwan Rhinos. They are set to compete against the Kathmandu Gurkhas in the upcoming game of the NPL 2024.
This match will take place at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground on Wednesday (December 11) at 1 PM IST. Meanwhile, the Kathmandu Gurkhas have a similar situation, with only one win out of three games played this season. They cannot afford to suffer a defeat at this stage of the competition. A victory in this match could significantly improve their standing in the tournament.
Both teams have not lived up to expectations in this competition. However, one of these two teams will claim a victory here. Lumbini Lions finally ended their losing streak and recorded their first points on the table. On the other hand, the Kathmandu Gurkhas have appeared somewhat out of form and have lost their matches by considerable margins.
