Match Preview

Our CHR vs JKB Fantasy Team Prediction compares Chitwan’s recent batting returns with Janakpur’s multi-skill options.

Chitwan Rhinos meet Janakpur Bolts in Match 25 of the Nepal Premier League 2026. The NPL schedule lists the game for 13 November at TU International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur. The ESPN match page calls it a day/night 20-over match.

Chitwan come off a 10-run loss to Kathmandu Gorkhas. They had earlier beaten Pokhara Avengers by 30 runs. Janakpur lost to Lumbini Lions by 16 runs in their latest completed match. They had beaten Pokhara Avengers by nine runs before that. These results make this a close pre-toss fantasy call.

The Match 25 centre uses JAB for Janakpur. JKB and JAB both refer to Janakpur Bolts in the sources used here.

Match Details

Chitwan Rhinos Form

Chitwan have two wins and two losses in the latest four completed league matches shown above. Ravi Bopara made 55 in the latest game. Rijan Dhakal took 3/14. Kamal Singh Airee took 2/25 in the same match. These are useful role clues, not promises for Match 25.

Janakpur Bolts Form

Janakpur have two wins and three losses in this five-match sample. Harmeet Singh scored 33 and Saif Hassan scored 28 against Lumbini. Both also have roles that can add value in more than one phase when they are selected.

Pitch Report

The venue profile describes a balanced T20 contest. It notes possible new-ball movement and a bigger role for spin in the middle overs. Two recent NPL T20 match-centre reports at this ground described the pitch as fast and bouncy: the Chitwan–Kathmandu report and the Lumbini–Janakpur report. That supports new-ball seamers and active middle-over all-rounders. It does not prove a fixed pitch average for this match.

These are editorial scenarios. They are not app-ready claims. The role labels below are editorial labels from the verified squad pool. They do not confirm any app role or eligibility.

For a CHR vs JKB Hero11 Team, compare the keeper’s batting position with the all-rounders’ likely overs. These CHR vs JKB Fantasy Team scenarios remain provisional.

Team 1: Balanced Control

Chitwan’s multi-skill core controls the middle overs while Janakpur’s best wicket options keep the game close.

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Arjun Saud, Anil Sah

BAT: Dawid Malan, Kamil Mishara, Santosh Karki

AR: Sikandar Raza, Ravi Bopara, Harmeet Singh

BOWL: Rijan Dhakal, Kamal Singh Airee, Lalit Rajbanshi

Captain: Sikandar Raza · Vice-Captain: Ravi Bopara

Risk: This build needs Chitwan’s all-rounders to keep their recent roles and Janakpur to select its main attack.

Team 2: Janakpur Chase Cover

Janakpur’s chase gets support from its two-skill players while Chitwan’s top order supplies the base.

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Kusal Perera, Rahul Yadav

BAT: Parvez Hossain Emon, Kamil Mishara, Dawid Malan, Dev Khanal

AR: Jimmy Neesham, Saif Hassan, Kushal Malla

BOWL: Hasan Ali, Bishal Shusling

Captain: Jimmy Neesham · Vice-Captain: Dawid Malan

Risk: The scenario loses value if Janakpur’s batting order changes or Chitwan’s quicks take early wickets.

Team 3: Spin And Middle Overs

The pitch stays balanced and the middle overs decide the game through all-rounders and spin options.

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Deepak Bohara, Anil Sah

BAT: Santosh Karki, Kamil Mishara, Dawid Malan

AR: Bibek Kumar Yadav, Moeen Ali, Tom Taylor

BOWL: Usama Mir, Rijan Dhakal, Lalit Rajbanshi

Captain: Moeen Ali · Vice-Captain: Bibek Kumar Yadav

Risk: A fast start on a better batting surface can reduce the value of this middle-overs plan.

Team 4: Power Hitting Script

Top-order hitters set a strong total and the captains’ all-round skills cover the pressure overs.

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Arjun Saud, Rahul Yadav

BAT: Dawid Malan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Aaditya Mahata, Dev Khanal

AR: Kushal Malla, Harmeet Singh, Iftikhar Ahmed

BOWL: Kamal Singh Airee, Hunain Shah

Captain: Harmeet Singh · Vice-Captain: Kushal Malla

Risk: The team is exposed if the new ball moves and the top order loses several wickets early.

Team 5: Seam Pressure

The new ball offers movement and the seamers create wickets before the middle-order all-rounders finish the innings.

WK: Arjun Saud, Kusal Perera

BAT: Santosh Karki, Dev Khanal, Dawid Malan

AR: Dan Mousley, Jimmy Neesham, Saif Hassan

BOWL: Hasan Ali, Kaleem Sana, Bishal Shusling

Captain: Dan Mousley · Vice-Captain: Jimmy Neesham

Risk: If the surface is easy for batting, the three specialist bowling picks may not get enough impact.

Team 6: Differential Finish

Less common picks cover a late batting finish while Raza and Abhisekh offer two-skill upside.

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Deepak Bohara, Kusal Perera

BAT: Kamil Mishara, Rit Gautam, Bikash Aagri

AR: Salahuddin Khan, Sikandar Raza, Abhisekh Tiwari

BOWL: Mousom Dhakal, Gautam KC, Ashutosh Pandey

Captain: Sikandar Raza · Vice-Captain: Abhisekh Tiwari

Risk: Several selections depend on a changed XI or a larger role than they had in the latest available match.

Captain And Vice-Captain Choices

• Sikandar Raza: A strong editorial captain when Chitwan’s middle-order control and bowling involvement both matter.
• Ravi Bopara: He made 55 in Chitwan’s latest completed match and can influence the game with more than one skill. Latest scorecard
• Harmeet Singh: He made 33 for Janakpur against Lumbini and has a two-skill role when selected. Latest scorecard
• Rijan Dhakal: His latest match included 3/14. He is a wicket-taking option if he keeps a similar bowling role. Latest scorecard

Player Battles

• Ravi Bopara vs Lalit Rajbanshi: Bopara’s scoring role meets Janakpur’s left-arm spin option. This battle matters if Chitwan build through the middle overs.
• Dawid Malan vs Bishal Shusling: Malan offers top-order stability. Shusling is a bowling option from Janakpur’s current pool. The final XI must confirm both roles.
• Sikandar Raza vs Harmeet Singh: Both are multi-skill players. Their overs and batting positions can change the value of a fantasy scenario.
• Kamil Mishara vs the new ball: Mishara scored quickly in the latest Chitwan defeat. Janakpur’s new-ball plan can decide whether that start becomes a big score.

Key Players

Ravi Bopara: He scored 55 from 35 balls in Chitwan’s latest completed match. His batting place and any bowling use should be checked at the toss. Match source

Sikandar Raza: He is listed in Chitwan’s 2026 pool as an all-rounder and led the latest available XI. His selection value depends on his batting place and overs. Chitwan squad source

Harmeet Singh: He scored 33 from 20 balls against Lumbini. His bowling role also gives him a route to points when he is used. Match source

Rijan Dhakal And Kamal Singh Airee: They combined for five wickets in Chitwan’s latest completed match, with Rijan taking 3/14 and Kamal taking 2/25. Do not assume the same attack until the XI is announced. Match source

Winner Prediction

Conditional editorial lean: Chitwan Rhinos, narrowly. The lean depends on their recent wicket-taking pair being selected and on Bopara, Malan or Mishara giving them a stable top-order start. If Janakpur’s Harmeet Singh and Saif Hassan win the middle overs and the Bolts chase, the lean can move to Janakpur. This is a pre-toss view, not a guaranteed win call.

FAQs

What Is The CHR vs JKB Match Time?

The brief says 4:45 PM IST and 5:00 PM local. The NPL schedule supports 5:00 PM local. ESPN and Cricbuzz currently show 10:45 GMT on their upcoming pages. Recheck the official start time before toss.

Which Players Are Safe To Consider Before Toss?

Use players with a recent batting or bowling role such as Ravi Bopara, Sikandar Raza, Harmeet Singh and Rijan Dhakal. They are still conditional picks until the XI is announced.

What Should I Do If A Player Is Not In The XI?

Remove that player from the scenario and use a confirmed replacement from the same side and role group. Do not treat a squad listing as proof that a player will start.

Is This A Confirmed Best Dream11 Team?
