Harmeet Singh’s four-wicket haul restricts Sudurpaschim Royals to 120

Janakpur Bolts captain Harmeet Singh produced an outstanding bowling performance to restrict Sudurpaschim Royals to 120 for nine in their Nepal Premier League match on Tuesday. After winning the toss and electing to bat at the TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Sudurpaschim managed just 120 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Playing against his former team for the first time, Harmeet claimed four wickets for just 17 runs in his four overs.

He had represented Sudurpaschim in the previous two seasons, guiding them to the final on both occasions with his impressive performances. In the inaugural season two years ago, Janakpur defeated Sudurpaschim in the final to lift the title. Irish batter Harry Tector, making his first appearance in the tournament, conceded just nine runs and took one wicket in his four overs.

Aaditya Mahata, Abhishek Tiwari and Rahul Yadav also claimed a wicket each. Sudurpaschim suffered an early setback when opener Binod Bhandari was run out for 10 by a direct hit from Lalit Rajbanshi.
