Karnali Yaks Vs Sudur Paschim Royals LIVE Score, NPL 2025: SPR Set Target of 140 Runs, KAY Innings Underway

A great start for the Royals as they took the wicket of Priyank Panchal (0) and it was taken by the skipper Dipendra Singh Airee.

While chasing 140 runs, KAY have had a watchful start with just 3 from the first over of Scott Kuggeleijn. Both the openers- Priyank Panchal and Mark Watt paid respect to the Kiwi pacer.

SPR's innings was halted for just 139 runs courtesy to some disciplined bowling by KAY at death. Sompal Kami was the pick of the bowlers for SPR who dismissed 3 SPR's batters. Dipendra Singh Airee was the highest scorer for SPR who scored 39 off 28 balls.

Harmeet Singh (17*) and Dipendra Singh Airee (27*) are forging a nice partnership for SPR. If one of them manages to stay till the end of the innings then SPR could make full use of the slog overs and reach somewhere around the 150 mark in 20 overs.

Aarif Sheikh was the latest to fall as Royals' innings faltered through the middle-overs. They need some big finish, if they are to get to a decent score on the board.

Royals are in all sorts of trouble with their fourth wicket to fall. Ishan Pandey was run out and now the burden falls on their captain Dipendra Singh Airee, to bail them out.

Chris Lynn's brief stay at the crease came to an end as he was sent back by Yuvraj Khatri for 18 runs. Royals are really lacking partnerships and are in dire need of one, to stabilize their innings.

Binod Bhandari was the latest wicket to fall for the Royals however veteran batter and T20 specialist, Chris Lynn is still at the crease. Yaks will want to see the back of the Australian batter, who is known to wreck havoc.

The Yaks could have not hoped for a better start with a wicket of the very first delivery to send back Josh Brown (0). The skipper Sompal Kami started off with a bang, to give his side the desired start.
