Shahab Alam's 6/25 against Pokhara was the best return. Ranjeet Kumar's 5/21 against Biratnagar was the other five-wicket haul, while three four-wicket performances complete the top five.
The opponent column matters here: the tournament leaderboard can place the opposition beside a figure, which must not be mistaken for the bowler's own team.

| 1 | Shahab Alam | Kathmandu Gorkhas | 6/25 | Pokhara Avengers |
| 2 | Ranjeet Kumar | Chitwan Rhinos | 5/21 | Biratnagar Kings |

Ruben Trumpelmann was named Player of the Match in the Final and Player of the Series after taking 15 wickets. Rohit Paudel received the highest Nepali run-scorer award after making 276 runs.

Completed-season cutoff
What matches are included in these statistics?
The aggregates cover all 32 NPL 2025 matches: 28 league fixtures, Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the Final. That is why players on playoff teams can have eight, nine or ten innings while non-qualifiers played seven matches.
The tables reproduce the reviewed tournament record and do not combine NPL 2024 or NPL 2026. Averages, strike rates, economy rates and net run rate are retained from their relevant sources rather than reconstructed from incomplete ball-by-ball data.
