In Round 7 of the Group B clash of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, Rajasthan and Sikkim will lock horns against each other at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, on January 5, 2025 (Sunday), at 9:00 AM IST. While Rajasthan secured five wins out of six matches in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, Sikkim have just one win to stay above Meghalaya on the Group B points table.

Rajasthan vs Sikkim Chance of Winning

Rajasthan made it to the finals of the 2023-24 edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but failed to win the tournament. But the way they have been playing in the ongoing edition, it seems like only a miracle can stop them. With high agency players taking care of the various aspects of their team, progress seems like the only path forward.

On the other hand, Sikkim registered their first-ever win of the 2024-25 VHT by beating Meghalaya, but that is it. They have no inspiring performances to take note of and even they celebrated the last win, normalcy would resume very soon in the upcoming clash.

Rajasthan vs Sikkim Best Batters

Mahipal Lormor to be Rajasthan’s best batter (Batery)

Mahipal Lormor is in some form at the moment, having scored 346 runs at an average of 86.50 in just six matches. As a matter of fact, the Rajasthan skipper has scored a total of 2320 runs at an average of 44.13 with a strike rate of 84.81, with four centuries and 17 half-centuries to go with it. That tells you how good he has been with the bat. There shouldn’t be any shade of doubt in that regard.

Ankur Malikr to be Sikkim’s best batter (Batery)

If Sikkim can claim to have one player, who is doing everything in his ability to deliver for the side, it has to be Ankur Malik. The all-rounder has amassed a total of 178 runs at an average of 59.33 in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy at a strike rate of 76.72. He is the biggest hope for the Sikkim side to salvage some pride in the VHT.

Rajasthan vs Sikkim Best Bowlers

Aniket Choudhary to be Rajasthan’s best bowler (Batery)

Rajasthan’s veteran pacer Aniket Choudhary has managed to bring his old style to the fore, scalping 12 wickets at an average of 22.91 and an economy rate of 5.55. One of Rajasthan’s all-time greats when it comes to red-ball format, Choudhary has taken 69 wickets in List A cricket at an average of 24.66. That is encouraging, no?

Md Saptulla to be Sikkim’s best bowler (Batery)

Md Saptulla has been one of the most consistent bowlers in the format for Sikkim, having averaged 22.57 in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. In his career, Saptullah has taken 15 wickets at an average of 43.26, but what is encouraging is the fact that he seems to be peaking at the right time.

Favorites to win

Rajasthan

This is simple. There’s no way on earth Sikkim are going to compete with Rajasthan in any manner whatsoever. The gulf in bioth sides are so huge that even in dreams there’s no challenge. On one hand, there’s Rajasthan, one of the undisputed side in the 50-over format and the runners’ up of the last year’s edition, while on the other end, is Sikkim, a side that could easily be the worst-performing side in the entire country. The chasm tells you everything.
