Nepal Premier League 2024 Points Table: Sudurpaschim Royals sealed top spot after a 6-wicket win over Karnali Yaks in match 28 of NPL Season 1 at the TU International Cricket Stadium in Kirtipur on Monday (December 16).

Chasing a paltry 102, Dipendra Singh Airee-led Sudurpaschim Royals chased down the target with 28- balls to spare riding on Ishan Pandey's unbeaten 38 off 36 balls. Earlier, Harmeet Singh picked up three wickets to keep the Yaks down to 101/9 in 20 overs.

With this result, the final playoff spot was finalized as Karnali Yaks sealed top four after managing to take the match past the 12.2 overs.

As a result, Kathmandu Gurkhas were eliminated due to inferior Net Run Rate (NRR).

Earlier on Sunday (December 15), Kathmandu Gurkhas went level with Karnali Yaks and Chitwan Rhinos, while Kings remained in sixth following the narrow loss. Sudurpaschim Royals moved into the top spot and sealed their playoff spot with a thrilling win over Pokhara Avengers.

Following the final league phase match, Royals finished on top of the standings followed by the Bolts, Rhinos and Yaks, while Gurkhas, Avengers, Kings and Lions finished outside the top four and as a result were knocked out of the playoff race.
