The Nepal Premier League has suddenly gone from "rare-century territory" to a season of statement hundreds.
Just days after Scotland's Mark Watt rewrote the record book with a 114 off 44 balls — the first century of the 2025 season and only the second in NPL history at the time — Pokhara Avengers have added another blockbuster innings to the league’s growing highlight reel.
In their latest outing, Adam Rossington smashed 108 not out off 58 balls, striking 11 fours and 7 sixes, as Pokhara Avengers piled up a towering 201/2 in 20 overs. Rossington’s innings was a clean exhibition of controlled power: boundary options early, then full acceleration once set, ensuring Pokhara never lost momentum through the middle and death overs.
Adding extra spotlight to the night was Jason Roy, playing his first-ever NPL match, who contributed 46 off 34 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes. The combination of Roy’s brisk support role and Rossington’s dominance allowed Pokhara to post a total that puts immediate scoreboard pressure on any opponent.

From one century to a trend
The NPL's century timeline is now quickly becoming a talking point:
- Andries Gous registered the league’s first-ever century in the inaugural 2024 edition, blasting 104 off 55 balls (12 fours, 5 sixes; SR 189.09) against Lumbini Lions on December 6, 2024.
- Mark Watt followed with a historic 114 off 44, delivering the 2025 season’s first ton and (at the moment it was scored) only the second century in NPL history.
- Adam Rossington has now added a new chapter with 108*, underlining how quickly the tournament's batting standards are escalating.
With totals crossing 200 and multiple players now breaking the three-figure barrier, the league’s second edition is already signalling a different tempo — bigger powerplays, sharper intent, and far less margin for error with the ball.
