Source-checked snapshot · checked 2026-10-30T18:32:20+05:30 · not a live feed
Source snapshot checked 6 November 2026, 2:04:42 PM IST. 14 NPL rows are RESULT, 1 is ABANDONED, 1 is LIVE and 16 are pending. Matches 14 and 15 are source-qualified results; Match 16 remains LIVE with no score/result. The 16:30 NPT versus 17:00 NPT clock conflict is retained as unresolved.
Sources: ESPNcricinfo — Nepal Premier League 2026 Schedule & Match Results · ESPN — Match 14 scorecard (direct endpoint served stale live snapshot) · ESPN — Match 15 full scorecard and embedded current table · NPLT20League.com — Match 16 live score snapshot · NPLT20League.com — NPL 2026 schedule (independent fan site; clock/status corroboration and lag note).
The current ESPN schedule/results card records Lumbini Lions 149/8 and Janakpur Bolts 133/8; Lumbini won by 16 runs. A direct Match-14 scorecard endpoint was stale/live, so this card follows the current schedule result and is flagged in limitations.
Read source report ↗ESPN’s final scorecard records Biratnagar Kings 83 all out in 18.3 overs and Kathmandu Gorkhas 86/1 in 9.4 overs, a nine-wicket win with 62 balls remaining. NPLT20 independently shows the same final scores.

Read source report ↗This landing page does not create standalone news records or claim live scores. External reports, source-confirmed result/fixture updates and the existing CricWin24 pre-match archive remain clearly separated.
Historical context: the dated passages below this notice preserve the earlier source snapshot and are not current status claims.
Current 6 November news cards: two verified dated result cards are prepended for Match 14 (Lumbini Lions over Janakpur Bolts by 16 runs) and Match 15 (Kathmandu Gorkhas over Biratnagar Kings by 9 wickets). Match 16 remains LIVE with no score/result card. The native archive cards and original chronology remain unchanged; the current standings-table delta is excluded.
This Nepal Premier League 2026 news page is a dated archive, not a live score feed or a list of newly published standalone stories. It brings together two clearly labelled external reports, three ESPNcricinfo result updates, three scheduled fixture updates and one existing CricWin24 pre-match article kept as an archive item. The source snapshot was checked on 30 October 2026 at 6:32 pm IST, and it does not refresh automatically. [1] [2] [3]
Key Takeaways
- Karnali Yaks lead the checked standings snapshot with 4 points from 2 wins. [4]
- Sudur Paschim Royals, Janakpur Bolts and Karnali Yaks are the teams with result updates dated 28 and 29 October in this archive. [1]
- The next listed fixtures are Chitwan Rhinos vs Lumbini Lions and Biratnagar Kings vs Sudur Paschim Royals on 31 October, followed by Janakpur Bolts vs Pokhara Avengers on 1 November. [1]
- The opening-match external report records Lumbini Lions' seven-wicket win over Sudur Paschim Royals. Its reported winning total is not repeated here because the checked sources differ on that secondary score detail. [3]
The archive separates source types so readers can tell a dated report from a scorecard-style update. The Kathmandu Post's 25 October league report said the third NPL season was due to begin on 26 October at TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur. It also reported the introduction of the Decision Review System, a CAN-announced winner's prize of Rs15 million and a projected CAN turnover figure of Rs1.5 billion. Those money figures are reported announcements and projections, not live audited revenue, ticket sales or confirmed economic impact. [2]
Republica separately reported the 26 October opener as a seven-wicket Lumbini Lions win over Sudur Paschim Royals at the Kirtipur ground. This remains external reporting, not a new CricWin24 story. The result update is kept distinct from the existing NPL schedule and results, where the checked ESPNcricinfo fixture record supplies the schedule-side score evidence. [3]
The ESPNcricinfo result cards record Sudur Paschim Royals beating Pokhara Avengers by six wickets on 28 October. Pokhara made 145/7 and Sudur Paschim reached 148/4 in 16.5 overs, with 19 balls remaining. On 29 October, Janakpur Bolts beat Kathmandu Gorkhas by eight wickets after Kathmandu made 115 and Janakpur replied with 116/2 in 17.2 overs. [1]
The other 29 October result was a close finish. Karnali Yaks beat Biratnagar Kings by four wickets, reaching 187/6 in 19.5 overs after Biratnagar made 186/7. Karnali's one-ball win explains why the early table has a clear leader without implying anything about the eventual champion. [1]
These are result records, not newly drafted news reports. For the wider dated table context, use the NPL 2026 points table. The standings snapshot lists Karnali first with 4 points from 2 wins. Lumbini Lions and Chitwan Rhinos have 2 points after one win each, while Janakpur Bolts and Sudur Paschim Royals have 2 points after two matches and one win each. Every row shows T = 0 and N/R = 0 in the dedicated standings table. Those are displayed snapshot values. The checked source does not directly state a general 2026 points rule, tie rule, NRR calculation method or qualification mapping, so no top-four or playoff conclusion is inferred. [4]
ESPNcricinfo listed Chitwan Rhinos vs Lumbini Lions for 31 October at 12:30 NPT in Kirtipur, followed by Biratnagar Kings vs Sudur Paschim Royals at 16:30 NPT. Janakpur Bolts vs Pokhara Avengers was listed for 1 November at 16:30 NPT. Each card was marked “Match yet to begin” when checked. There is no claim here about a toss, live score, completion, playing XI or automatic update. [1]
All eight identities in the checked season listing are Sudur Paschim Royals, Lumbini Lions, Chitwan Rhinos, Biratnagar Kings, Karnali Yaks, Janakpur Bolts, Pokhara Avengers and Kathmandu Gorkhas. A team-source display variant may show “Kathmandu Gurkhas”, but the canonical identity used in the competition data is Kathmandu Gorkhas, the same franchise. The NPL teams page provides the identity context; it should not be read as evidence of full 2026 rosters or confirmed captains.
Every listed match in this snapshot is assigned to TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu. Readers seeking broader ground context can use the NPL venues page. This news page does not add unverified arrival guidance, ticket inventory, weather, boundary dimensions or gate information.
The existing Pokhara Avengers vs Sudurpaschim Royals match prediction was published on 27 October for the 28 October fixture. It remains a dated pre-match archive item. Its earlier prediction and roster evidence are not rewritten as the completed result, and no 2025 carry-forward or current-squad claim is added here. The NPL season overview provides broader competition context, while this page remains limited to dated news and update records.
No. It is a checked 30 October snapshot. It does not auto-refresh, and scheduled cards remain scheduled until a later source check records a result. [1]
Karnali Yaks lead with 4 points from 2 wins. That is a dated table position, not a forecast or a qualification claim. [4]
Chitwan Rhinos vs Lumbini Lions and Biratnagar Kings vs Sudur Paschim Royals are listed for 31 October, followed by Janakpur Bolts vs Pokhara Avengers on 1 November. All three were marked “Match yet to begin” at the cutoff. [1]
No. The seven-wicket opener was reported by Republica and is labelled external reporting. The archive does not present it as a new CricWin24 story. [3]
No. The page confirms the eight team identities and checked match records only. Full 2026 rosters, captains, availability and playing XIs were not verified in the checked news sources.
The NPL schedule and results page carries the full fixture and result view. This news page uses short narrative context instead of reproducing the fixture cards.
