Lumbini Lions stay on playoff hunt defeating Biratnagar Kings, whose safe spot is now at risk

The Lions complete the chase against the Kings with five wickets in hand. With Faf du Plessis and other batters unable to contribute well, Biratnagar fail to defend a not-so-good total.

Despite a few empty seats reserved for seasonal ticket holders in the Chovar Zone, Wednesday’s sole clash between Biratnagar Kings and Lumbini Lions was a sold out, confirmed by both ticket sales and the heaving general stands. But the crowd’s magnet wasn’t the matchup; it was a single individual: Faf du Plessis.
