Everest Premier League 2021: Match 8, Bhairahawa Gladiators vs Biratnagar Warriors - Preview, predicted XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

Bhairahawa Gladiators and Biratnagar Warriors face off in the eighth match of the Everest Premier League (EPL) 2021. The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur will host this exciting clash.

Bhairahawa Gladiators have finished two games so far, and both games have been washed out due to rain. It is such a shame that rain has played spoilsport in both games of this quality side.

The Biratnagar Warriors, meanwhile, lost their opening game against the Chitwan Tigers. It was a thriller of a contest, and the Warriors failed to hold their nerves in the end as the Tigers won the game by two wickets.

On the back of a half-century from Sikandar Raza, the Warriors put 151 on the board. The bowlers tried their level best but couldn’t defend the total as the Tigers chased down the target off the final delivery.

Their second game was washed out due to rain.
