Sikkim vs Uttarakhand — Prediction Correct ✅

Pre-match analysis published on 6 January 2026:

A mismatch on paper plays out at Dr Soni Stadium, Jaipur on 6 January 2026. Sikkim are winless in five matches with a net run rate of -3.994, while Uttarakhand have won their last two games chasing 270+ totals against quality opposition.

Team Context and Recent Form

Sikkim have endured a torrid campaign. Their most recent outing saw them bowled out for 75 in 22.2 overs against Punjab, with Arshdeep Singh claiming 5/34. Earlier, they posted 236/7 against Mumbai but watched Rohit Sharma smash 155 off 94 balls to chase it down in 30 overs. No wins, no points, and a catastrophic NRR that tells the story of a team completely outclassed at this level.

Uttarakhand have found form at the right time. On 29 December, captain Kunal Chandela scored 118 off 114 balls - his first List A century in an 8-year career - to chase down Punjab's 269. Then on 3 January, Aanjaneya Suryavanshi delivered a stunning 115 not out off 87 balls from 83/3 to overhaul Goa's 270. Two consecutive chases of 270+ against teams above them in the table.

Key Players to Watch

Our Prediction

We give Uttarakhand an 85% probability to win. The gap in class is enormous. Uttarakhand have multiple match-winners in form - Chandela, Suryavanshi, and Dangwal have all delivered under pressure. Sikkim's collapse to 75 all out exposes a batting lineup that cannot handle quality bowling. Akash Madhwal's pace could cause similar carnage.

Betting Value

Bookmakers price Uttarakhand at 1.03 (97.1% implied) and Sikkim at 9.50 (10.5% implied). Sikkim at 9.50 gives a mathematical edge of +4.5%. But edge calculations only work when both teams can compete. A side bowled out for 75 with NRR of -3.994 is not competing - they are surviving. Uttarakhand at 1.03 offers no value either. No bet on this match.

Value Note: NO BET - ANALYSIS ONLY. Uttarakhand are the predicted winner but there is no value on either side. Skip this match for betting purposes.
