Welcome to our coverage of Biratnagar Kings vs Kathmandu Gorkhas, Nepal Premier League 2025 match: Biratnagar Kings face Kathmandu Gorkhas in a high-stakes Nepal Premier League 2025 encounter at Tribhuvan University Ground, Kirtipur, today. It's a fixture loaded with narrative and consequence. Sandeep Lamichhane's Biratnagar, buoyed by their emphatic 53-run win over Pokhara Avengers, are looking for back-to-back wins. The Karan KC-led Kathmandu, meanwhile, have had a mixed start -- a five-wicket win over Janakpur Bolts in the season opener followed by a 29-run defeat against Sudur Paschim Royals. With both sides level on two points apiece, the 8th match of the NPL 2025 is pivotal in shaping the mid-table battle. The Sunday double-header adds extra spice, with Lumbini Lions SETTING A 157-run TARGET FOR Karnali Yaks in the early kick-off. Last season, Kathmandu Gurkhas beat Biratnagar Kings by one wicket in a thriller during the league stage. Gerhard Erasmus claimed 3/17 in four overs to help Gurkhas dismiss the Kings for 117 all out, then Pratik Shrestha hit 39 in 34 to set up the win despite Lamichhane's 3/19.
