Until then, I am Dev Rajawat, signing off along with my co-commentators, Saptak Sanyal, Soumarya Dutta, and scorer Asraj Khan. That’s it from our side. Thanks for joining. Goodbye from this tab! TAKE CARE! BREATHE AND SMILE! CIAO!!!
There will be a brief pause in the Nepal Premier League on Friday, giving the teams a day to catch their breath. But the action returns in style on Saturday, October 31, with a double-header in Kirtipur. Chitwan Rhinos take on Lumbini Lions in the afternoon fixture, before Biratnagar Kings return to the field to face Sudurpaschim Royals in the evening. Two fresh battles, four ambitious sides, and another day of NPL drama await. Do join us as the story continues on Saturday!
And so, Kirtipur witnessed a heart-stopping thriller, a captain's masterclass and a comeback for the ages. Bam's six-hitting spectacle had put the Kings in command, but Sompal answered with courage, calmness and a fearless blade when his team needed him most. Mathews threatened to shut the door, yet the Yaks found a way through, with Sarraf laying the foundation and Gulshan standing tall beside his skipper at the finish. At 57/5, defeat seemed inevitable - at 187/6, the impossible had become unforgettable. Cricket can be cruel, cricket can be chaotic, and sometimes it can be wonderfully absurd, but that is precisely why we love it. The Yaks have escaped the King's grasp in a proper Kirtipur heist!
Sompal Kami(Karnali Yaks Captain) - "(On the win) We are not like the 2014 Nepal team. We are a different team. We have to show by bat and not by our mouth. We played an amazing game of cricket. Proud of the boys for the way they played.
(On the tactic of him going ahead of Gulshan Jha ) The decision was taken by our coach Gyanendra dai. He asked me to back my natural game. I knew if I played till the end then we would win. I batted with Pawan. Gulshan Jha is a great finisher. I trust the boys and the result is on our side. Thanks to the lord and his blessings helped us get over the line.
(On Gulshan Jha's performance) Gulshan is one of the biggest match winners. I know that he is an upcoming superstar. Hopefully he does these kinds of finishes more for Nepal.
(On his celebration) It has come naturally. I don't plan and people enjoy it. After I saw it on my social media, I asked myself to why I did it. But all in good fan.
(On whether he has to prove anything to the selectors) I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I love my game. This is me. I know the importance of this innings. I know I am the best. May not be enough for the selectors but I am playing for the Yaks and it is enough for the Yaks. That is what matters. "

Sandeep Lamichhane(Biratnagar Kings Captain) -" (On the game and his reflections) Of course from the cricketing perspective it was a great game. There are so many areas that we have to be concerned about. Sompal played brilliantly especially when they were under pressure. He took the initiative as a captain and played a great knock to take them over the line.
We gave away a lot of chances here and there and didn't bowl up to our potential. The dew factor was there for the whole 20 overs and it was raining throughout. Being a professional cricketer you can't give too many excuses. A few dropped catches and poor fielding cost us the game.
(On the innings by Lokesh Bam) We had a chat with Lokesh Bam. This wicket was like a 170-175. It was raining and that made it easier to bat on. He did everything that he could have. It was a good total to defend. We were right up with the challenge till the 8th or the 9th over. We went a bit here and there with our plans and that costed us. Pawan and Sompal put on a brilliant show in the middle followed by Gulshan. Plenty of areas where we can do well. Not to forget that we have given away four points to two different teams in two different games.
(On the rain) I don't care about something that was not in my hand. I tried to control the moments that I could. Whether it rains or not doesn't matter. Being a professional you have to be there to get through the challenges. I tried to do those and ensure that I do well for my team. "
