BIK vs CHR Outfield Report

The pitch at Kirtipur generally supports balanced cricket with help for pacers early and spin in the mid overs. It is not a flat batting paradise, and reading conditions early will be key. Strike rotation and wickets in hand will be crucial for teams.
Weather conditions are expected to be sunny with 21–23°C temperatures and light dry airflow. Low humidity means bowlers won’t struggle with grip. No rain threat means we should get a full match.
Historically, the Kirtipur surface produces first-innings totals between 135 and 165. Chasing can be tricky if wickets fall early, so teams batting first will aim for above 155 to feel safe. Anything under 140 can be difficult to defend only if dew unexpectedly arrives.
