Nepal Premier League 2024 Points Table: Sudurpaschim Royals sealed top spot after a 6-wicket win over Karnali Yaks in match 28 of NPL Season 1 at the TU International Cricket Stadium in Kirtipur on Monday (December 16).

With this result, the final playoff spot was finalized as Karnali Yaks sealed top four after managing to take the match past the 12.2 overs. As a result, Kathmandu Gurkhas were eliminated due to inferior Net Run Rate (NRR).
