CR vs PKA Match Prediction & Analysis
Chitwan Rhinos and Pokhara Avengers will go head-to-head in the 27th match of the Nepal Premier League 2025. This will be the last league-stage game for both teams, and both teams have a chance to finish in the top 4.
However, a win here will not guarantee a playoff spot. The qualification for these two sides is dependent on the outcome of the Lumbini Lions’ last match. If the Lions win their last game against the bottom-placed Janakput Bolts, it will be curtains for Avengetrs and Rhinos.
Nevertheless, they will fight tooth and nail to win this match. Kushal Malla-led Chitwan Rhinos have been inconsistent with the bat despite featuring players like Dawid Malan, Saif Zaib and Ravi Bopara in the side.
For Pokhara Avengers, Adam Rossington and Jason Roy will play a crucial role in the top order as they aim to bounce back in this match. Rossington was out for a single-digit score after scoring 108 and 81 in his previous two innings.
There is no clear winner between these two teams that are struggling with inconsistencies. Bowlers will have a great role to play in the team’s win in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Chitwan Rhinos Preview
Chitwan Rhinos lost their last game while chasing a target of 170 runs against Sudur Paschim. This was right after they failed to defend a 176-run total in the previous outing against the bottom-placed Janakpur Bolts.
In addition to their batting woes, the bowling issues are also quite evident. The last time their bowlers delivered a brilliant performance was against the Kathmandu Gorkhas, led by a 4-fer from Sohail Tanvir. However, the batting order collapsed in that match while chasing 143 runs, and they were bowled out for 89.
Arjun Saud, Dawid Malan, and Saif Zaib are the key batters in this lineup. It all depends on these players in the top order. If they fail to deliver, Chitwan Rhinos will most probably end up with a below-par total.
Malan needs to play a big knock, single-handedly leading the fight from the Rhinos, while all-rounder Ravi Bopara can play a handy innings at number 4 to further contribute toward taking the team to a bigger score.
Skipper Kushal Malla has been inconsistent, but has the potential to score quick runs in the lower order. The current form is a big issue for the Rhinos, not their batting strength.
Ranjit Kumar continues to deliver consistent bowling performances for the side, but others look out of touch. Malla is also a key figure in the bowling attack, and must find his rhythm to get the team back to winning ways. George Scrimshaw also joined the bowling attack in the last game and will be one to watch out for.
Chitwan Rhinos Predicted Playing XI:
Dawid Malan, Arjun Saud (wk), Dev Khanal, Saif Zaib, Ravi Bopara, Kushal Malla (c), Amar Routela, George Scrimshaw, Rijan Dhakal, Kamal Singh Airee, Ranjit Kumar

Pokhara Avengers Preview
Pokhara Avengers are in the same boat as the Rhinos. Heavily relying on a few top-order players, the Avengers also lack consistency in their batting performances.
A lot rests on the shoulders of opening batsman Adam Rossington. However, they cannot expect him to score a hundred or a fifty in every single game. The law of averages is bound to catch up.
His opening partner and skipper, Kushal Bhurtel, must step up and play a captain’s knock in this must-win game. He could also consider promoting Jason Roy to open the innings while pushing himself down the order to number 3 or 4.
Batting all-rounder Dhananjaya Lakshan, who picked 4 for 16 in the last match, is also a good option in the middle order. Bhurtel can consider sending him to number 3 in the batting order. The captain will be crucial in the bowling attack with his leg-break bowling and is one to watch out for.
A bowling all-rounder from India, Rishi Dhawan, is a big name in this bowling attack. He can deliver crucial breakthroughs during the middle or death overs to put the Avengers ahead in the contest.
He was the top batter for Pokhara Avengers in their last game, scoring 54 off 31 balls at number 6. With the likes of Lakshan and Dhawan in the lower middle order, there might be some hope for the Avengers going into this match.
Pokhara Avengers Predicted Playing XI:
Kushal Bhurtel (c), Adam Rossington (wk), Jason Roy, Dhananjaya Lakshan, Trit Raj Das, Aakash Chand, Kiran Thagunna, Rishi Dhawan, Bipin Khatri, Sagar Dhakal, Sandeep Chettri

High Turn
It is a balanced wicket at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, where both batters and bowlers have delivered some impressive performances in recent outings. However, the bowlers will have a slight edge in this match and play a key role in taking the team to victory. The average first innings score in the last 5 matches of NPL played at this venue is 171 runs. In this match, if the team batting first goes past the 175-run mark, they will be in a comfortable position to win the game.
Toss: To Bat
In the last 5 matches of the Nepal Premier League 2025 played at this venue, the teams batting first have won 3. Irrespective of the stats, the team winning the toss in the match must opt to bat first, considering the current form of their batting lineup. Chasing a total in this do-or-die situation isn’t ideal for either side, and the skippers must look to bat first and have runs on the board to give themselves an advantage in this match.
CR vs PKA
Winning Prediction
There is no clear winner here, as both teams have similar batting woes affecting their performances. However, the Rhinos are also struggling with the ball. The Avengers, on the other hand, have a few promising all-rounders who can deliver crucial runs in the middle order and also a few tight overs to put the Rhinos on the back foot. As a result, Pokhara Avengers will have a slight edge going into this match.
