Chitwan Rhinos vs Pokhara Avengers Prediction

Chitwan Rhinos host Pokhara Avengers at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in a contest that promises pace and bounce to dominate the proceedings.

The surface here has consistently favoured fast bowlers with good carry, which could make early wickets crucial. Pokhara Avengers, having won the solitary previous meeting between these sides, hold a psychological edge heading into this clash.
