Chandigarh vs Sikkim Chance of Winning
Chandigarh and Sikkim had a forgettable season of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year, finishing fifth and seventh in Group E, respectively. Chandigarh finished the group stage at fifth place last year with 12 points from six games. They won three and lost as many games in the tournament and couldn't advance through.
Chandigarh began their 2023 SMAT season with a remarkable victory over Bihar on Monday, winning by nine wickets. Bowling first, they conceded 62 runs to the opening wicket before Murugan Ashwin pulled things back. The leg-spinner claimed 2 for 20 in four overs while Raj Bawa snared 2 for 15 in his three. The rest of the unit was expensive as Bihar put on 171. What followed was a carnage from the Chandigarh opening duo. Manan Vohra scored 81 off 54 while Arjun Azad struck 79 off 43. Thanks to them, Chandigarh finished the chase in just 17 overs.
Sikkim finished at the bottom of the group table after failing to win a single game in the previous season. They were one of the five teams in the entire competition to go winless. Sikkim's start to this year's campaign wasn't good either as they were hammered by Services in their first match on Monday.
Sikkim won the toss and elected to bat first in Mumbai. Their openers added 22 runs in the first three overs but then Sikkim suffered a collapse, losing four wickets for just 13 runs. Ashish Thapa was the top run-scorer for Sikkim with 24 runs but he was the fifth batter to be dismissed at 56 in 10.4 overs. Ankur Malik and Sankar Praad added 23 runs for the ninth wicket to push the total to 95/8. They did not stand a chance defending such a small target as Services mowed it down in 10.4 overs.
The sides have met each other twice in T20 cricket previously, with Chandigarh dominating the proceedings. Given the fact that Sikkim has been a weaker side in their domestic cricket history and Chandigarh being a better side, it would be hard for Sikkim to come out on top in this game. The two teams' chances of winning this game are as follows.
- Chandigarh's chance of winning: 99%
- Sikkim’s chance of winning: 1%
Chandigarh vs Sikkim Betting Tips
Chandigarh’s opening pair looked in sublime touch in their first outing of this season as they put on a 159-run stand in 15.3 overs. Manan Vohra and Arjun Azad smashed 81 and 79 runs, respectively. You can bet on the pair to come good in this game as well, at the same venue and against a weaker opponent.
Sikkim do not possess a great batting unit and they struggled badly in the first game. Pankaj Rawat could only score five runs in 13 deliveries before getting run out. It might be a good idea to bet on Rawat to score under 19 runs in this game.
