Season 3 figures cover every completed match through Match 21 (the abandoned Match 7 produced no play), compiled from the published match scorecards and updated 10 November 2026.
The numbers are blunt: seven overs, 87 runs, one wicket. Against Chitwan Rhinos he bowled three overs for 23 without a wicket in the eight-run defeat; against Karnali he took 1 for 39 in three overs; against Sudurpaschim Royals he bowled a single over for 25 in the five-over game. In a five-over game, one over for 25 is a quarter of the innings.
The contrast with his earlier seasons is sharp. In 2024 he took 3 wickets in 4 matches at 18.67 with an economy of 6.36; in 2025 he took 2 wickets in 5 matches at 15.00 with an economy of 4.84. The economy rate has more than doubled — and the captain has not used him since the five-over game.
Match by match
Every Pratish GC spell in NPL Season 3 so far, in the order they happened.
| Match | Opponent | Batting | Bowling |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 — 26 Oct | Chitwan Rhinos | 0 (1 balls) | 0/23 (3 ov) |
| 6 — 30 Oct | Karnali Yaks | Did not bat | 1/39 (3 ov) |
| 8 — 31 Oct | Sudurpaschim Royals | Did not bat | 0/25 (1 ov) |
The opener was steady: 0 for 23 in three overs against Chitwan, and 0 from 1 ball with the bat. The Karnali game brought the wicket — 1 for 39 in three overs — but also 39 runs, in a game the Kings lost by four wickets after posting 186.
The five-over game against the Royals was the last appearance: one over, 25 runs, no wicket, in a game the Kings won by 35 runs despite the spell. He has not played the Janakpur win or the Kathmandu defeat since.
The left-arm angle
Pratish GC is a left-arm fast bowler from Surkhet, retained by Biratnagar Kings on 16 June 2026. A Nepal Under-19 international — he took 2 wickets at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup and was named in the Asia Cup squad — he is the only left-arm pace option in the Kings’ attack.
The left-arm angle is the reason he keeps getting picked: the ball coming across right-handed batters, the different line, the change of pace. His listed role is a death-over yorker option, and his earlier seasons backed it — an economy of 6.36 in 2024 and 4.84 in 2025 are the numbers of a bowler the captain trusts at the end of an innings.
Season 3 has not followed the script. Twelve point four three runs an over is the worst economy of any Kings bowler with more than a handful of overs, and the captain has not used him since the five-over game. The last two league games are his chance to put the numbers right — if the captain trusts him again.
Where the Kings stand
Pratish GC is the left-arm option in an attack that needs wickets: Biratnagar Kings are sixth after Match 21 — four points from five games, with a net run rate of −0.820. The full table is on the NPL Points Table, and every result is on the NPL Results page.
Two wins from the last two games would take the Kings to 8 points and almost certainly into the playoffs — and a left-arm quick who took wickets at 6.36 an over in 2024 is exactly the profile that wins the second of those, against Lumbini Lions on Saturday, when the left-arm angle is the one thing the champions have not seen from this attack.
