No impact player has been confirmed ahead of the toss. Nothing here is confirmed until the toss. Impact choices depend on the pitch at 12:30 PM and on how the first innings unfolds.

Changes from Last Match

Lumbini play their third match of the season, after the Match 1 win over Sudurpaschim and the Match 7 washout against Chitwan. With no toss and no XI in the abandoned game, there is no previous XI to compare the graphic XI against. Janakpur play their fourth match of the season, after the Match 9 win over Pokhara. Their graphic XI keeps five of the Match 9 XI (Harmeet Singh, Anil Sah, Lalit Rajbanshi, Mayan Yadav and James Neesham), with Bikash Aagri, Aaditya Mahata, A. Sheikh, K. Mahato, Imran Tahir and Wayne Parnell coming in for Moeen Ali, Trit Raj Das, Saif Hassan, Abhisekh Tiwari, Amar Singh Rautela and Rahul Yadav.
