Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

JKB vs KNY NPL 2024 Preview

Janakpur Bolts continue to occupy the top spot on the NPL 2024 points table, having registered wins in each of their four league matches so far. Under the leadership of Anil Sah, they recently overcame Lumbini Lions by a run, mere days after pulling off three successive run-chases against Pokhara Avengers, Karnali Yaks and Biratnagar Kings. USA star Lahiru Milantha and captain Sah himself have tallied the highest number of runs among all Bolts batters to contribute to their success. Bowlers Rajbanshi and Harsh Thaker have also delivered timely breakthroughs for their team throughout the tournament.

Sudurpaschim Royals is ranked at number two, i.e., just a rung below Janakpur Bolts on the eight-team NPL 2024 standings. However, a win over Bolts at this stage of the tournament will take the Royals to the top of the table. For the Sudurpaschim Royals, captain Dipendra Singh Airee, England’s Saif Zaib and Scotland’s Brandon McMullen are the only batters to have tallied over 100 runs this tournament so far. Among the bowlers, New Zealand quick Scott Kuggeleijn has taken the highest number of wickets for his team with seven scalps.
