Winning the toss is not benefiting the teams in NPL Season 3
Summary
Winning the toss has not guaranteed an advantage in Nepal Premier League Season 3, with teams often choosing to field first at TU Stadium but winning only half their matches. Captains and coaches say pitch conditions and poor fielding have shaped the results, while chasing remains the preferred T20 strategy.
Key Points
- Teams winning the toss in NPL Season 3 have mostly chosen to field first, but only seven of 14 matches went in their favor.
- Captains say early moisture at TU Stadium makes first-innings batting difficult, though chasing under lights remains attractive.
- Janakpur Bolts lost to Lumbini Lions after Harmeet Singh said misfields and dropped catches cost them extra runs.
- Examples from Biratnagar Kings and Kathmandu Gorkhas show that intent and execution matter more than the toss alone.
