Recent Performance
The turning point
Jayasuriya’s 11-ball 39 took the Kings to 68 for 1 inside three overs, and the total kept growing from there. The Royals then lost their first wicket to the first ball of the chase and were 7 for 2 early on. In a five-over game there was no time to rebuild, and Kuggeleijn’s late hitting only cut the margin.
Top performers
Andre Russell was Player of the Match for 29 not out off 10 balls and 1 for 8 in two overs. Jayasuriya’s 39 off 11 was the fastest innings of the match, and Bam’s 25 off 10 kept the scoring going between the two. For the Royals, Bohara’s 2 for 28 was the only wicket-taking spell, and Kuggeleijn’s 28 not out off six balls came too late to change the result.
Points table
The win gave Biratnagar two points and left both sides on two points after three matches each — one win and two defeats apiece. Karnali Yaks stayed top of the table on four points.
