Mizoram vs Sikkim Betting Odds
Sikkim to have a better opening partnership than Mizoram
Mizoram, in their final match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Karnataka, had a tough time finding their momentum. This was evidenced by their partnership of just five runs between their opening duo, Lalhruaizela and Vikash Kumar. The latter lost his wicket in just 1.2 overs and brought an end to their collaboration. Sikkim, on the other hand, performed marginally better in their previous match against Saurashtra considering they achieved a partnership of 19 runs between Pankaj Kumar Rawat and Arun Chettri, their openers.
