TU Cricket Ground covered with tarpaulins following rain

Officials at the Tribhuvan University Cricket Ground deployed tarpaulins across the entire venue following an encounter between Karnali Yaks and Biratnagar Kings. The measure was taken to safeguard the playing surface from potential rainfall after light showers occurred around the fixture. Reports indicate that drizzle began prior to the start of the match and persisted throughout the game, although the sporting action continued without cancellation. Ahead of the fixture, Karnali captain Sompal Kami won the coin toss and invited Biratnagar Kings to bat first. Umpires took to the field holding umbrellas to conduct the toss amidst the wet conditions. While ground staff initially shielded only the central pitch while leaving the outfield uncovered, the full area was subsequently protected with covers to prevent water damage from expected weather. The match formed part of the ongoing Nepal Premier League schedule hosted at the venue in Kathmandu. Weather conditions had turned damp by the evening, prompting precautionary steps by ground management following the conclusion of proceedings between the two sides. Department of Hydrology and Meteorology updates and regional weather patterns from the Bay of Bengal were linked to the damp conditions affecting the capital.
