Nepal Premier League 2024 Points Table: NPL Results & Standings After Matches on December 12

Nepal Premier League 2024 Points Table: Janakpur Bolts returned to the top of NPL Season 1 standings following a 5-wicket win over Kathmandu Gurkhas in match 21 at the TU International Cricket Stadium in Kirtipur on Thursday (December 12).

After Lalit Rajbanshi and Sher Malla claimed three wickets each to bundle out the Gurkhas for 101 all out, Harsh Thaker and James Neesham scored 20 plus knocks to help the Bolts past the target in 15.5 overs.

Bolts leapfrogged the Sudurpaschim Royals to reclaim pole position and also became the first team to seal a playoff spot in the inaugural Nepal Premier League with one game to spare, while the Gurkhas hopes of a top four finish suffered a slight dent.

Earlier on Thursday (December 12), Pokhara Avengers and Biratnagar Kings played out a tie after both teams managed to score 139 runs each in their alloted 20 overs. However, the Avengers had the last laugh through the Super Over.

With this win, Pokhara Avengers moved above Lumbini Lions to claim the sixth position on the NPL 2024 standings, level on points with Kathmandu Gurkhas, but with a little better Net Run Rate (NRR), while Biratnagar Kings remained rooted at the foot of the table..

Following the results so far, Bolts sit on top of the standings followed by the Royals and the Rhinos, while Yaks, Lions, Gurkhas, Avengers and Kings occupy the next five spots after 21 matches. Here is a look at the NPL 2024 Standings:
