Janakpur Bolts opener Tritraj Das scored a half-century against Pokhara Avengers in the Nepal Premier League (NPL) on Sunday at the international cricket ground in Kirtipur, reaching 50 from 49 balls as Janakpur batted first and went on to set Pokhara a target of 148. Das struck six fours and one six in an innings that anchored Janakpur’s progress after the team lost the toss and was sent in to bat.
Das leads Janakpur’s innings
Das brought up his fifty from 49 deliveries, combining boundary strokes with a single six. His innings gave Janakpur a substantial contribution at the top of the order in a match where the Bolts were looking to post a total for Pokhara to chase. The half-century was the key individual milestone reported from Janakpur’s batting effort.
The Bolts had reached 107 for four after 16 overs, with four wickets down and the innings still in progress at that point. The score provided a snapshot of the match’s position late in Janakpur’s innings: the side had passed 100, while Pokhara had already taken four wickets. Janakpur subsequently completed its innings and set a target of 148, according to the match report.
Das’s 49-ball route to 50 included six boundaries along the ground and one six. Those scoring shots accounted for 30 runs, with the remaining runs in his half-century coming through other scoring methods. His innings therefore supplied a steady base for Janakpur as the team sought to build a defendable total.
Janakpur set Pokhara a target of 148
Janakpur batted first after losing the toss at the Kirtipur ground. The Bolts’ score of 107 for four at the end of 16 overs showed that the innings had moved beyond its opening phase, while the four dismissals meant the team had lost half of its available wickets only after that point. The final target of 148 gave Pokhara a clear score to pursue in the second innings.
For Pokhara Avengers, the chase would be shaped by the target set by Janakpur and the need to make up the difference through their batting. The supplied match details do not report the outcome of the chase, so the result of the contest is not included here. At the reported stage, the defining feature of the match was Das’s half-century and Janakpur’s total of 147, which produced a target of 148.
