The Pokhara Avengers vs Sudurpaschim Royals match is a day-night (D/N) fixture in the Nepal Premier League, scheduled to be played at Kirtipur on October 28, 2026, according to ESPN’s match listing. Cricbuzz, an independent cricket coverage source, has also published a scorecard page for this same pairing, listing it as the 6th match of the Nepal Premier League 2025, and the Jagran sports portal covers the fixture as well. The final result of the match is not stated in any of these listings.
The Pokhara Avengers vs Sudurpaschim Royals game is a professional Twenty20 cricket contest within the Nepal Premier League (NPL), Nepal’s premier domestic franchise T20 competition. The match is designated a fourth match of the tournament in ESPN’s schedule (labeled “4th Match (D/N), Nepal Premier League at Kirtipur, Oct 28 2026”), while Cricbuzz’s scorecard page identifies it as the “6th Match” of the Nepal Premier League 2025. These are two different listings of the same team pairing from separate sources, and the discrepancy between the match numbers, the year referenced (2025 versus 2026), and the date warrants cautious reading.
Based strictly on the available headlines:
Cricbuzz’s scorecard page references the same pairing under “Nepal Premier League 2025” as its 6th match, so the precise edition of the tournament and definitive date cannot be confirmed from these headlines alone. Readers should treat October 28, 2026 at Kirtipur as the most specific date given by the schedule source (ESPN).
The Pokhara Avengers are a franchise side named after Pokhara, Nepal’s second-largest city and a major tourist destination in the Gandaki region. The Sudurpaschim Royals represent Nepal’s Sudurpaschim (Far-Western) Province, one of the country’s most geographically remote regions. Both clubs are part of the Nepal Premier League’s structure, which organizes teams along city and province lines — a common approach in South Asian franchise T20 cricket.
Neither headline provides team rosters, player names, squad compositions, or coach details, so no specific personnel claims can be made here. What is confirmed is that both teams are competing in the same NPL edition and that their head-to-head fixture has drawn coverage from three distinct outlets: ESPN, Cricbuzz, and Jagran.
Three independent sources have published listings or coverage of Pokhara Avengers vs Sudurpaschim Royals: ESPN carried the match schedule (appearing multiple times in its listings), Cricbuzz published an official-style scorecard page for “POA vs SPR, 6th Match, Nepal Premier League 2025,” and the Jagran sports portal features a dedicated article on the fixture. Multiple-platform coverage of a single NPL match is typical for games involving teams from different regions, as they draw fan interest across Nepal’s provinces. The pairing is also notable because it matches a city-based franchise (Pokhara) against a province-based franchise (Sudurpaschim), adding a regional rivalry dimension to the game.
Fans can follow the Pokhara Avengers vs Sudurpaschim Royals fixture through the channels that have already published listings and coverage:

The headlines reviewed here do not state: the match result or winner; the final scores; the playing XIs; the toss winner; individual player performances; or which specific edition of the Nepal Premier League the game belongs to (2025 or 2026). Until an official scorecard or match report is consulted, none of these details should be assumed. The most reliable next step for fans is to check Cricbuzz’s scorecard page for POA vs SPR, which would publish live scores and the full match record if the fixture has been completed, or ESPN’s fixture page for schedule updates.
The Nepal Premier League is one of Nepal’s flagship domestic T20 cricket competitions, and matches are typically held across central venues such as Kirtipur, which serves as a regular host ground for the tournament. A day-night fixture between Pokhara Avengers and Sudurpaschim Royals exemplifies the league’s mix of city and province franchises. The match’s listing as both a “4th match” (ESPN) and a “6th match” (Cricbuzz) suggests either different counting methods across sources or different editions of the league, which is why cross-checking an official NPL scorecard remains the surest way to resolve the fixture’s exact status.
The headlines do not state an exact start time. ESPN classifies it as a day-night (D/N) match at Kirtipur, which means play typically begins in the afternoon and runs into the evening under lights, but the precise local kickoff time is not given in the available listings.
The result is not stated in any of the reviewed headlines. ESPN published the schedule, and Cricbuzz created a scorecard page, but no headline reports a winner, scoreline, or result. Fans should consult the Cricbuzz scorecard page directly for the outcome if the match has been played.
The sources conflict: ESPN’s listing carries an October 28, 2026 date, while Cricbuzz’s scorecard page titles it as the 6th match of the Nepal Premier League 2025. The headlines alone do not resolve which edition the fixture belongs to, so this should be verified against an official NPL source.
All available listings place the match at Kirtipur, a venue regularly used for Nepal’s national and domestic cricket. The match is designated a day-night fixture.
ESPN and Cricbuzz are the two cricket-specific outlets that have published fixture and scorecard pages for this match, and Cricbuzz in particular is the standard destination for live ball-by-ball scores, commentary, and the full scorecard of Nepal Premier League matches. Jagran also offers written coverage of the fixture.
ESPN's listing schedules the match as the 4th Match (D/N) of the Nepal Premier League at Kirtipur on October 28, 2026. Cricbuzz lists the same pairing under the Nepal Premier League 2025, so the exact edition and date should be confirmed against an official NPL source.
All available headlines place the match at Kirtipur, a venue used for Nepal's domestic and international cricket. It is designated a day-night (D/N) match, meaning play runs into the evening under floodlights.
No headline reports a result for this fixture. ESPN published the schedule and Cricbuzz created a scorecard page, but neither states a winner or final score, so the outcome is unknown from these sources.
ESPN labels the Pokhara Avengers vs Sudurpaschim Royals game the 4th match of the Nepal Premier League, while Cricbuzz's scorecard page titles it the 6th match of the Nepal Premier League 2025. The discrepancy likely reflects different source counts or different tournament editions and cannot be resolved from the headlines alone.
Pokhara Avengers are a Nepal Premier League franchise named after Pokhara, Nepal's second-largest city in the Gandaki region. Sudurpaschim Royals represent Nepal's Sudurpaschim (Far-Western) Province. Official rosters and player names were not given in the headlines.
