Siraha will play against Rupandehi in Finale

Siraha Saints v Rupandehi Raiders at Fapla Cricket Ground, Dhangadhi
@NaviN GandhI v @CerealKiller & @Sami Kumar

@The Author, @Trident, @Jack Ryder, @Naman Thakur - tough luck, your teams nearly made it to the
finale, however it was great to have you guys as a manager for these teams and made efforts till this
stage

​

 

[Aislabie]

To knock out the first-placed team, unbeaten through the group stage, via a single loss to a team placed in the bottom half of the table is frankly absurd. Bloated and/or unweighted playoffs have no place in a league as prestigious as the NPL.

[HASHTAG]#justiceforshahzad[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#prayforramechhap[/HASHTAG]

Also, well played to the opposition.

 

[CerealKiller]

Our bowling was absolutely brilliant. Hopefully we'll put up a similar performance in the final. We'll go with the same lineup that took us till here.

I Scheduled Semi Finals instead of Play-offs just because, the original Nepal Premier League was played with Semi Finals, so i decided to go with the original format, more-over play-offs trend is going in this section for a change tried the old format.

 

[Till Valhalla]

At least we became semi finalist,at one point that was also looking difficult.

I know. I just thought I'd post a rant because that's what most self-respecting Nepalese fans do when things go against them. Thought I'd jump on that bandwagon

Going with the same Lineup.. Hope we clinch the title..
