Despite a strong win against Success strikers, our journey comes to an end for CNPL Season2.
Success Strikers: 162/4
Kathmandu Kings: 163/9 (18.4)
A flying start, a hard-fought chase - but in the end, just winning wasnβt enough for us. We had to get a massive win - which we couldnβt marginally achieve today. With all teams finishing on 3 wins and 3 losses, it came down to the finest of marginsβ¦ net run rate deciding the top two.
Cricket can be cruel sometimes and today, it reminded us how every run, every over truly matters.
Proud of the fight, the resilience, and the spirit shown by every single player. We gave it everything till the very end securing 3 out 3 last games despite our first 3 losses.
A huge thank you to our players, supporters and management teams who stood by us, and most importantly, to our sponsors for their continued belief and backing throughout the tournament.
Best wishes to the finalist teams
GM Royals and Success Striker.
We may fall short this timeβ¦ but the Kings will rise again π
