Nepal Premier League 2024 Live Streaming: Sudurpaschim Royals and Janakpur Bolts will battle to earn direct entry into the final when they clash in Qualifier 1 of NPL Season 1 at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur on Wednesday (December 18).
Dipendra Singh Airee’s in-form table-toppers Sudurpaschim Royals are fresh from a 6-wicket win over Karnali Yaks, while second-placed Janakpur Bolts head into the qualifier on the back of a 32-run loss to Chitwan Rhinos.

Having sealed their playoff spot first, the Anil Shah-led Janakpur Bolts took their foot off the accelerator in the closing stages of the season, folding for 148 in the run chase of 181 in their last outing in NPL.
Sudurpaschim Royals, on the other hand, kept winning momentum intact as they chased down 102 inside 16 overs against the Yaks in the final league stage match of the season. The Royals will also be confident heading into the qualifier, having already beaten the Bolts this season.
The last time these two teams met in the league phase, Kishore Mahato’s four-wicket haul had reduced the Royals to 123/9, but an all-round bowling effort led by Harmeet Singh halted the Bolts response at 51 all out.
