Everest Premier League 2021: Match 10, Bhairahawa Gladiators vs Lalitpur Patriots - Preview, predicted XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details
Bhairahawa Gladiators face the Lalitpur Patriots in the 10th match of the Everest Premier League (EPL) 2021. The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur will host this contest.
Bhairahawa Gladiators didn’t have any game time as their first two games were washed out due to rain. The rain stayed away the other day as the Gladiators finally played and won their match convincingly against Biratnagar Warriors.
Bowling first, the Gladiators started brilliantly as they bowled nice lines and lengths upfront. The Warriors batters were knocked over for 89 in the 18th over.
Dhammika Prasad and Aarif Sheikh starred with the ball, picking up three wickets each. The batters started the chase cautiously, and Upul Tharanga at No. 3 remained unbeaten on 34 to chase down the total in the 16th over.
The Lalitpur Patriots, on the other hand, are reeling at the bottom of the table. They have played two games so far and have failed to win both. The Patriots have suffered losses against Kathmandu Kings XI and Pokhara Rhinos.
