Sudurpaschim bounce back to beat Kathmandu by 29 runs

After setting a 148-run target, the Royals bundle out the Gorkhas for 118 in 16.5 overs in a match that saw a remarkable all-round performance from Harmeet Singh.

The fans of Sudurpaschim Royals, the franchise representing the far western region of the country, owned the TU International Cricket Stadium in Kathmandu during the match against the home side, Kathmandu Gorkhas, on Wednesday. “I am so thankful for these fans,” the Royals’ head coach Jagat Tamata said in the post-match conference after the win. “It is a blessing to have these fans as a backup.”
