Preview: Strikers look to stay perfect as Falcons hunt a first win
Janakpur have won all three games, while Lalitpur have lost all three and are turning to a new leg-spinner.
Janakpur Strikers and Lalitpur Falcons meet at Mulpani on Sunday at 3:00 pm, and the two sides could hardly be in more different form.
Strikers have won all three of their games, the last of them in a final-over chase. Falcons have lost all three, and their bowlers have conceded an average of 162 a game.
Team news
Falcons are likely to hand a debut to 21-year-old leg-spinner Sagar Dangol, called up after their defeat to Thunder. Strikers have no injury concerns and are expected to keep the side that beat Peaks.
The key battle
Dangol against Rajesh Mahato. The Strikers finisher has scored his runs at better than a run a ball against spin this season, so Falcons will be hoping their new man can keep him quiet in the middle overs.
Our view
Strikers are clear favourites on form. Falcons need their top order to bat through the powerplay to give Dangol and the other bowlers something to defend.
