Wankhede Stadium

Maharashtra and Sikkim will lock horns with each other in Round 5 of the Group B clash in the Vijay Hazare Trophy at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on December 31, 2024 (Tuesday), at 9:00 AM IST. While Maharashtra are at the top of the table with four wins in four games, Sikkim are yet to open the account with four losses of their own.

Maharashtra vs Sikkim Chance of Winning

Maharashtra has dominated the ongoing season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy with an iron fist. From batters delivering with terrific consistency to bowlers smashing the opposition to smithereens, everything has come together for the sake of the side. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad knows how to steer the ship in the perfect direction, hence, making it easier for the side.

On the other hand, Sikkim are yet to bask out of their minnow tag. While that would take some years to come, Sikkim have surrendered erratically in almost every game. There is no better hope from them in the upcoming encounter either, for it’s clear that they’re at the cusp of getting out of the tournament in an emphatic fashion.

Maharashtra vs Sikkim Betting Tips

Even though Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to score much against Rajassthan, trust him to return to scoring ways heavily against Sikkim. You can also put your money on Om Bhosale for he is very much capable of scoring runs in plenty. From the bowling department, Rajneesh Gurbani and Azim Kazi provide a great deal of insurance to play around with our bets. They will definitely succeed in delivering for Maharashtra. I’m refraining myself from betting big on any Sikkim players.

He has always been the biggest rock for the side, having been the highest run-scorer in the last five years. There shouldn’t be any doubt while betting on him.

Ankur Malik has taken the Indian cricket by storm in first-class format, having averaged 45.69 in red-ball cricket. He is not too far behind in List A cricket as well, having scored 120 runs at an average of 60 in the ongoing season of Vijay Hazare Trophy. That should be enough for you to bet big on him.

Md Saptulla has been an incredible force for a team depriving of quality bowlers. High on pace and always consistent, Saptulla has taken four wickets in the ongoing edition at an average of 23.75 and an economy rate of 4.75. Alongside Lee Yong Lepcha and Ankur Malik, he will be an important asset for Sikkim in the next match.
