Meghalaya vs Sikkim Chance of Winning
If one team who haven’t progressed at all in domestic cricket since being given full-member status in 2018, it has to be Meghalaya. Time and again, it has been the same story of batters and bowlers collectively underperforming to leave a terrible aftertaste. Their performance in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy is nothing but a repetition of the same story.
On the other hand, Sikkim also lack the spunk to be considered a good team. The fact that Sikkim have a very weak side is not surprising, but the overall lack of effort to grow is evident. Now, they have a chance to prove that they’re at least better than their regional outfits by beating Meghalaya in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy clash.

Meghalaya vs Sikkim Betting Tips
You have to bet on Nishanta Chakraborty to win from this encounter. He has been very consistent for Meghalaya alongside Aryan Bora, who deserves a pie from your box. Ignoring Arpit Bhatewara will be wrong on your part, too, for he knows how to bat long without deviating from his plan. Ankur Malik has shown tremendous all-round strength for Sikkim, so he is a definite pick for this market.

Nishanta Chakraborty and Arpit Bhatewara have been very consistent over the last few years, with the side averaging 56 runs in the first 10 overs against teams from North-East sides. So, this seems to be a very simple bet to take.

Meghalaya vs Sikkim Best Batters
Nishanta Chakraborty to be Meghalaya’s highest run-scorer (Batery)
Nishanta Chakraborthy has scored 166 runs in five List A games at an average of 33.20 and a strike rate of 70.33. The way he took on Andhra bowlers on his way to a century last game was the show of a man who knows how to bat long. So don’t fret over it and go for him as Meghalaya’s best batter.
Ankur Malik to be Sikkim’s best batter (Parimatch)
Ankur Malik is tremendous in the ongoing season, having scored 160 runs at an average of 80 runs. With scores like 40*, 58*, 20, and 27*, he has shown his range to be effective with the bat. Even if you write off his bowling ability, which is again fantastic, Malik knows how to be at the peak of his powers with the bat.
Meghalaya vs Sikkim Best Bowlers
Swarajeet Das to be Meghalaya’s best bowler (Batery)
Swarajeet Das has already picked six wickets in the ongoing edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy at an average of 29.33 and an economy rate of 6.51. In his overall List A career, the medium pacer from Meghalaya has picked 16 wickets at an average of 38.75, which is good enough for him to be Meghalaya’s strike bowler. Trust
Md Saptulla to be Sikkim’s best bowler (Parimatch)
Md Saptulla has taken five wickets in the ongoing edition at an average of 27.60 and an economy rate of 5.11. He has been the strike bowler for the side and has been able to keep the opposition in check more often than not. Alongside Lee Yong Lepcha and Ankur Malik, he will be an important asset for Sikkim in the next match.
