Nepal’s convincing victory over the Netherlands in their last game certainly boosts their confidence heading into the final. Captain Rohit Paudel’s impressive innings, supported by Gulsan Jha, played a crucial role in their win. However, they’ll need to maintain their momentum to secure the title.

On the other hand, the Netherlands boasts a strong batting lineup led by Michael Levitt and Sybrand Engelbrecht, both of whom have been in good form throughout the tournament. With their impressive performance in the previous Cricket World Cup, they understand the importance of winning this final to solidify their position as one of the top associate teams globally.

Given the recent form and the stakes involved, this final promises to be an exciting clash between two competitive sides.

With the pitch being exceptionally flat and the boundaries relatively short, conditions heavily favor the batters, providing them with ample opportunities to score freely. However, bowlers will have to rely on precise execution and strategic variations to keep the scoring in check. Despite their best efforts, the expectation is for another high-scoring encounter, where both teams will likely put up formidable totals.

As a result of the extensive cricketing action in the BPL, the pitch has lost its pace and bounce. This alteration is expected to benefit the spinners, although the pacers may still find some assistance, particularly with the new ball. Batsmen may face initial challenges in adapting to these conditions.

During the final match in Kirtipur, you can anticipate some cloud cover with temperatures gradually rising from 17 degrees to 21 degrees Celsius. However, humidity levels are expected to decrease gradually as the match progresses, potentially impacting the playing conditions as the game unfolds.
