BK — Biratnagar Kings 220/6 — the highest total in NPL history

Biratnagar Kings made 220 for 6 against Pokhara Avengers. It remains the highest total in Nepal Premier League history.

How far ahead it is

The first-innings average across the competition is 147.5. Biratnagar's 220 beat that by nearly 73 runs — an entire powerplay's worth of batting, added on top of a par score.

The next-best totals in the archive are Pokhara Avengers' 201/2 and Biratnagar's own 193/8. Only one score in NPL history has passed 200 by more than a single run.

What a 220 requires

At 11 an over for twenty overs, a side has to beat the death-overs run rate for the whole innings. The competition manages 6.86 in the powerplay. Biratnagar needed to sustain something closer to eleven from the first ball.

The other end of the scale

The same archive holds Janakpur Bolts' 51 all out against Sudurpaschim Royals, and Pokhara Avengers' 74 all out against Chitwan Rhinos. The gap between the highest and lowest totals in NPL history is 169 runs.
