Services vs Sikkim Chance of Winning
Services and Sikkim will be motivated to mark their entry into the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023. Services were pooled in a fairly competitive group last season where they won five games and lost two fixtures in seven games. However, they failed to qualify for the play-offs adhering to being placed in the 4th place with a lower net run rate than the teams placed above them. They will look to start their season with strong results to make up for their last season.
Sikkim did not have a good season last year. They were placed in the Elite Group E and managed to lose all the games they played in the competition. They did not win a single game and finished at the bottom of their respective group table with a terrible net run rate. However, they will look to do better this season but will have a tough time facing Services in their opening game.
Services will blatantly be a stronger team on the ground between the two. They have the likes of fit players and a number of options in their batting and bowling line-up. They will go in as match favourites for the upcoming fixture.
- Services's chance of winning: 99%
- Sikkim’s chance of winning: 1%

Services vs Sikkim Betting Tips
Sikkim to score low before 1st dismissal
Sikkim had a very disappointing season in the previous season with poor batting and bowling performances. The opening line-up of Sikkim revolved around Pankaj Rawat, Anwesh Sharma, Ankur Malik and Akash Luitel who averaged at 14.50, 6.33, 13.50 & 2.20 respectively in the previous season. They posted equally poor opening partnerships in the six games last season. They posted 38, 1, 18, 5, 27 & 7 runs before their first dismissal. Sikkim never possessed a good batting order. Services had a strong season last season and conceded 19, 4, 0, 20, 31, 28 & 48 runs before picking their first wicket in the games. They were expensive in their games against the strong teams last season but otherwise posed a very strong bowler.
