Meghalaya Cricket Association Cricket Ground, Polo Ground

Meghalaya and Sikkim will lock horns in the second-round clash of the Ranji Trophy Plate Group at the Meghalaya Cricket Association Cricket Ground, Polo Ground, Shillong, starting October 25, 2025 (Tuesday), at 9:30 AM IST. While Meghalaya’s match against Mizoram was abandoned due to rain, Sikkim drew their match against Manipur.

Facts:

  • Akash Choudhary was the highest wicket-taker for Meghalaya last season, having taken 16 wickets for them in the Elite Group
  • Ankur Malik was the highest wicket-taker for Sikkim in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, having scalped 23 wickets at an average of 31.04

Meghalaya vs Sikkim Chance of Winning

Meghalaya were elevated to the Elite Group last year, but their performance was anything but that. They lost all seven matches - five of them by an innings margin and one game by 10 wickets- to finish at the bottom of the table and now found themselves back again in the Plate group. Balchander Anirudh and Aryan Bora were the only two saving grace, but things didn’t materalise further.

Meanwhile, the all-round effervescene of Ankur Malik is the greatest strength that Sikkim currently possess and that’s going to be an important differentiator. To bolster the base, they also have the likes of Parth Palawat and Ashish Thapa who can turn the gamearound with their batting brilliance. Even though they are not as structured as a Mizoram or Bihar, they can still be making some solid waves.

  • MEG’s chance of winning is 45%
  • SIK’s chance of winning is 55%

Meghalaya vs Sikkim Betting Odds

Meghalaya to take the first innings lead (Parimatch)

In the Plate pool, he will have a bigger dominating run.

Palawat was the differentiator for Sikkim alongside Ashish Thappa and Ankur Malik as the trio made sure things were working out in their favour. A lot of hope will ride on Palawat to do an encore.
