7:40 PM IST, 7:55 PM Local Time: Sudurpaschim Royals have beaten Pokhara Avengers fair and square in the runfeast. They have won this game by a margin of 18 runs.
The Avengers had a shaky start as they lost their first three wickets inside the powerplay, but then came Kushal Burtel and Jimmy Neesham together in the middle. The duo started off quietly, but soon started hitting it out of the park on will. They shared a stand of 75 runs between them, but it ended when Dipendra Singh Airee sent back Neesham on 47.
Burtel continued and smashed his second successive fifty of the season, but he failed to find partners from the other end. Eventually, Scott Kuggeleijn ended his stay in the 16th over.
Dan Dauthwaite tried his best and tonked the ball across for a boundary and five biggies, scoring a 16-ball 37. However, it wasn't enough in the end.
For the Royals, Harmeet Singh was the pick of the ball with two for 22. Meanwhile, Kuggeleijn, Airee, Hemant Dhami, Abinash Bohara and Naren Saud took a wicket each.

Josh Brown (POTM): "It was great to get a few hits away. It was a nice outing after failing in the last game. I was lucky at the start, but then I started playing my natural game.
I loved my partnership with Binod, we didn't communicate that much but he asked me to back my game. It is my first time playing in Nepal, I loved playing here."
