Biratngar Kings and Pokhara Avengers are set for a blockbuster clash when they meet in the third match of the CSA T20 Challenge 2025 tournament on Tuesday at Tribhuvan University Ground in Kirtipur. Biratnagar Kings Biratnagar Kings will look to start fresh in the new season of the Nepal Premier League after a disappointing exit from the tournament last year. They had finished sixth in the tournament last season with just two victories in their seven league games. However, they tried regaining their form by winning their last two league games, but it was already too late. The squad featured some promising young and experienced talents from around the world, including former South African skipper Faf du Plessis, Marchant de Lange, George Munsey, and Basir Ahamad. Pokhara Avengers Pokhara Avengers had finished seventh in the NPL 2024 leaderboard, one spot below their rivals with the same number of victories in the same number of games. However, the team will be desperate to return to their winning ways this season after an overhaul in their squad. Some of the members in the squad have wide experience in playing across different T20 leagues, while some of the young talents are yet to be tested.
