As a result, Janakpur Bolts will now face Sudurpashchim Royals for the final. Will Sudurpashchim dominate again in their third encounter, or will Janakpur avenge their two previous losses and lift the trophy? 
Team Overview:
Sudurpashchim Royals
Sudurpashchim Royals were acquired by Empire Sports for 16.8 million rupees. The team is coached by Jagat Tamata. Representing Sudurpashchim Province, the team predominantly consists of players from the region. One of the key players is Dipendra Singh Airee, the second-ranked all-rounder in world cricket, who is a dependable and marquee player for the team. Sudurpashchim Royals are strong contenders for the NPL title. Under Airee’s leadership, the team has won 6 out of 7 games in the tournament. Sudurpashchim first defeated Biratnagar by 90 runs in the opening match, with their only loss coming against Chitwan Rhinos. In their winning matches, they defeated opponents by large margins. Sudurpashchim Royals became the first team to secure a place in the final by defeating Janakpur Bolts by 8 wickets in the first qualifier. Their bowler, Scott Kuggeleijn, has taken the most wickets in the tournament.  Sudurpashchim has made no mistakes so far, except for the defeat against Chitwan.

Janakpur Bolts
Janakpur Bolts, owned by Dream Sports for 20.5 million rupees, represent the capital of Madhes Province. The team is coached by former national coach Pubudu Dassanayake. Janakpur had a strong performance in the league stage, winning 5 out of 7 matches, although they lost to Chitwan and Sudurpashchim. After losing in the first qualifier, Janakpur defeated Karnali Yaks by two wickets in the second qualifier to remain in the title race. Janakpur's strength lies in their spin bowling and middle-order batting. However, with the injury to captain Anil Kumar Sah, the team has been under pressure. Arif Sheikh, a national team player, hasn’t performed well in NPL so far. Janakpur's reliable batter is Lahiru Milantha, and New Zealand's James Neesham could play a key role with explosive batting. Janakpur's all-rounder Harsh Thakre has been performing well, especially with the ball. The team’s spin department has been a strong point, with spinner Lalit Rajbanshi taking 16 wickets so far.
With both teams having strengths and weaknesses, the final promises to be a thrilling and unpredictable contest. For fans of Janakpur Bolts and Sudurpashchim Royals, every ball, hit, and run will be memorable.
