Open poll and resultsJanakpur Bolts vs Karnali Yaks prediction
There is plenty of excitement surrounding this Janakpur Bolts side, who are captained by USA international Harmeet Singh and coached by West Indies legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul. They boast a plethora of international experience through the likes of all-rounders Moeen Ali and Jimmy Neesham, along with Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Kusal Perera, who is capable of scoring big runs for the Bolts in this tournament.
For Karnali Yaks, Sompal Kami captains the side, and all-rounder David Miller is their key man. If South Africa star Miller has a good game, he is capable of giving the Yaks a great chance of winning single-handedly, such is his power with the bat and ability to clear the rope with ease. However, it's hard to ignore the fact that Karnali may be over-reliant on Miller when assessing the rest of their squad. Janakpur look more rounded and stronger all round, so the smart play would be backing them to defeat the Yaks here.
