With this victory, the Anil Sah-led Janakpur Bolts remain unbeaten in the season, earning 8 points from four games, while the Lumbini Lions, led by Rohit Paudel, continue their winless run in the ongoing NPL 2024 season.
In Sunday's match, the Lumbini Lions won the toss and opted to field first against the Janakpur Bolts. Despite a steady 45 off 39 balls from captain Anil Sah and a 24-run contribution from Lahiru Milantha, the Bolts struggled to build momentum and were restricted to 136/9. Rohit Paudel stood out with two wickets, while Abhishesh Gautam claimed three.
Chasing the target, the Lions tried to put up a fight but were undone by the brilliance of Harsh Thaker, who delivered a match-winning spell. His five-wicket haul for just 23 runs in 4 overs dismantled the Lions' lineup, including dismissing captain Rohit Paudel for 35 off 38 balls.
