Open poll and resultsChitwan Rhinos vs Sudurpaschim Royals prediction
An inconsistent start leaves Sudurpaschim Royals down at the lower end of the NPL table after three matches. With only four league stage games left for them, it's crucial that the Royals put together a winning run sooner rather than later.
As for Chitwan Rhinos, they've picked up three points from a possible four, after victory over Biratnagar Kings was followed up by a washout against Lumbini Lions. But the Rhinos impressed against the Kings, holding their nerve in clutch situations, with key players such as Dawid Malan stepping up.
Although Sudurpaschim Royals are more than capable of matching Chitwan, their bowlers were flayed to all parts by Biratnagar, and the likelihood is that Malan along with his teammates will be licking their lips at the prospect of batting in this game. As it stands, Sudurpaschim haven't shown enough from a batting point of view to suggest they belong in the same group as the top teams just yet, so consider backing Chitwan in this one.
