Match Details:
The 13th match of the Prime Minister Cup 2021 will be played between Province Number 1 and Karnali Province at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.
This match is scheduled to start at 09:00 AM Local Time (08:45 AM IST).
Preview:
The start Province Number 1 have got themselves to in the 2021 Prime Minister Cup campaign is something they would have dreamt of in their worst nightmares. They have lost all of their first three games and find themselves in a lot of trouble.
Their opposition, Karnali Province had a horrendous start to their campaign as well, as they were thrashed by Tribhuwan Army Club in their first match. However, they made a swift comeback in just their next game as they defeated Gandaki Province. Hence, Karnali Province are the obvious favourites to win this match.
