BIK vs JAB Outfield Report

The Kirtipur pitch often offers batting freedom early but gradually assists spin as the match progresses. Shot-making is easier during the first innings when the surface is harder and drier. Bowlers who vary length and pace tend to succeed in the death overs.

The weather at match time is expected to remain dry with temperatures around 18–22°C. A slight late-afternoon breeze may provide seamers with swing during the first 8–10 overs. No rainfall prediction means a full match of uninterrupted cricket.

Historically, Kirtipur has delivered first-innings scores between 145 and 185 in NPL T20 games. Chasing becomes difficult beyond 170 due to slowing conditions. Teams batting first usually hold an advantage if they cross 165+.
