Preview: Stallions and Warriors meet under lights with plenty at stake
Dhangadhi need a win to stay in touch with the top four, and Butwal are still looking for their first points.
Dhangadhi Stallions face Butwal Warriors at Mulpani on Sunday night, with the first ball at 7:15 pm.
Stallions won their opening game against Peaks but have lost the two since. Warriors have lost all three, though their defeat to Blaze went to the final over.
Team news
Teenage fast bowler Kamal Bista is expected to lead the Stallions attack again after his three-wicket spell against Strikers. Warriors are considering a change at the top of the order after their openers managed 31 runs between them in three games.
The key battle
Bista against the Warriors top three. The 19-year-old has been the quickest bowler in the league, and Butwal's batting has struggled against pace in the powerplay.
Our view
Dew has been a factor in night games at Mulpani, which should help the side batting second. Whoever loses will find the playoff places a long way off.
