Sandeep Lamichhane Takes Six Wickets in Record-Breaking NPL Spell

Biratnagar Kings captain Sandeep Lamichhane has delivered a career-best bowling performance in the Nepal Premier League (NPL), claiming six wickets, including a hat-trick, against Pokhara Avengers on Thursday.

Playing at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Lamichhane took six wickets for 26 runs in his four-over spell.

He completed his hat-trick in the third over, becoming the first bowler in NPL history to claim a hat-trick and six wickets in the same match.

Lamichhane has also become the third bowler to take six wickets in an NPL innings. Kathmandu Gorkhas’ Sahab Alam and Will Bosisto had previously achieved the feat.

Lamichhane was named the league’s best bowler in the previous edition, taking 17 wickets in nine matches.

In the inaugural season, he claimed six wickets in seven matches.
