Biratnagar 186 for 7: Bam's 87 Sets 187

Karnali won the toss and sent Biratnagar in at Kirtipur on Thursday 29 October 2026, and for most of the first innings that call looked like it might backfire. Lokesh Bam smashed 87 off 52 balls, hitting three fours and nine sixes, and with Angelo Mathews making 31 off 23 balls and Andre Russell 27 off 15, Biratnagar reached the highest total of the season so far.

The rest of the batting card was thin. Basir Ahamad made 13 off seven balls, Imran Sheikh five off seven, Charith Asalanka three off six and Shehan Jayasuriya 11 off 10 before being run out, while Sujan Thapaliya and Pratish GC finished unbeaten on nought. Nine extras took Biratnagar to 186 for 7 in 20 overs, with the fourth-wicket stand between Bam and Mathews worth 71 runs and the last 25 balls producing 42 runs for three wickets.

Sompal Kami was the bowler who kept Biratnagar from running away completely. The Karnali captain took four wickets for 33 runs in four overs, while Mark Watt took one for 23 with a maiden, Nandan Yadav one for 43, Yuvraj Khatri none for 18, Hussain Talat none for 39 and Unish Thakuri none for 26.

Mark Watt fell for one off seven balls, Ariful Islam smashed 32 off 12, Deepak Dumre made 20 off 11, Hussain Talat fell for nought off four balls, Pawan Sarraf made 36 off 28 and Akbar Ali one off four, and at 123 for 6 the chase was slipping away. The fall of wickets tells the story: 11 for 1, 38 for 2, 45 for 3, 54 for 4, 57 for 5 and 123 for 6.

Then Pawan Sarraf and Sompal Kami steadied the chase with a 66-run stand for the sixth wicket, taking Karnali from 57 for 5 to 123 for 6, before Sarraf fell for 36 off 28 balls. Kami and Gulsan Jha then finished the job with an unbroken 64-run stand, Kami finishing unbeaten on 62 off 32 balls with four fours and three sixes and Gulsan unbeaten on 28 off 21.

The win took Karnali to two wins from two matches and the top of the early standings as sole leaders, while Biratnagar slipped to zero points from two matches after losing their opener to Chitwan by eight runs.

Biratnagar's batting finally fired through Bam, but their bowling could not defend the season's highest total. The first innings is covered in Lokesh Bam 87 Powers Biratnagar to 186/7 in NPL Match 6, and the match report in Karnali Yaks Beat Biratnagar by 4 Wickets in NPL Match 6.

The match also showed why Karnali's captain is central to their season. Kami took four wickets in the first innings and then finished the chase unbeaten, while Gulsan Jha's unbeaten 28 gave him the support he needed at the death. For Biratnagar, Bam's 87 proved that their batting can post big totals, but their bowlers now need to defend one.
