Dew could trouble NPL bowlers, but may not decide games
Summary
The third season of the Nepal Premier League begins on Monday, with dew and pitch conditions likely to influence tactics more than decide results. Evening matches at TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur may favor batters slightly, but the toss is not expected to be a decisive factor.
Key Points
