Karnali Yaks vs Lumbini Lions Prediction & Tips 2025

Gulbadin Naib bats at number five for his team and scored a brilliant unbeaten 44 while also picking up a couple of wickets. He is arguably one of the best players in the Lumbini Lions side and will be looking to continue in the same vein. Hence, Naib can be expected to score at least 25 wickets and pick at least two wickets in this match.

Mark Watt surprisingly batted at number three in the previous game and scored 16 runs. He is primarily a spin bowler and also picked up a wicket in his four overs. His all-round game can certainly come to the fore in this game for the Yaks. Hence, Watt is expected to pick at least two wickets in this game and also score at least 20 runs.
