SICA ground

Sikkim and Manipur will lock horns in the first-round clash of the Ranji Trophy Plate Group at the SICA ground in Rangpo, starting October 15, 2025 (Wednesday), at 9:30 AM IST. While Sikkim finished fourth in the six-team league, with two wins from five games, Manipur finished at fifth, just ahead of Arunachal Pradesh.

Sikkim vs Manipur Chance of Winning

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 game around with their batting brilliance. Even though they are not as structured as a Mizoram or Bihar, they can still be making some solid waves.

On the other hand, Manipur don’t really have the strength to compete in all these regard. Sure they have N Johnson Singh, Pheiroijam Jotin, and Bishworjit Konthoujam to deliver the goods for them, but that’s about it. There are hardly anyone beyond the aforementioned troika to take control of the narrative.

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

Sikkim to have a dominant opening partnership (Parimatch)

Sikkim have Arun Chettri and Nilesh Lamichaney to open for Sikkim and that gives an element of success angle to them. Last season, they averaged 34 for the opening wicket and set up the base for batters like Parth Palawat and Ashish Thapa to deliver later. Trust them to have an impact once again in the upcoming match.

Sikkim vs Manipur Best Batters

Parth Palawat to be Sikkim’s best batter (Parimatch)

Parth Palawat was the highest run-scorer for Sikkim last year, scoring a total of 401 runs at an average of 40.01 with two half-centuries to go with. 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.

Pheiroijam Jotin to be Manipur’s best batter (Parimatch)

Pheiroijam Jotin was the highest run-scorer for Manipur in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, having scored 502 runs at an average of 50.20. That sojourn included four half-centuries and one century that defined their story. In his first-class career, Jotin has scored 811 runs at an average of 38.61. So back him to deliver once again for the side.

Sikkim vs Manipur Best Bowlers

Ankur Malik to be Sikkim’s best bowler (Parimatch)

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. He was a relentless workhorse, who also scored 311 runs with the bat at an average of 38.87. So there is a lot of potential in this market and you should bet on it immediately.

Bishworjit Konthoujam to be Manipur’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Bishworjit Konthoujam was the pick of the bowlers for Manipur in the 2024-25 season of Ranji Trophy, having taken 18 wickets at an average of 21.94. One of the most consistent bowlers in Manipur, Konthoujam has grabbed 121 wickets at an average of 28.92 in his first-class career. So what are you waiting for?

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

SIK

Bet on Sikkim to win the match. Purely on a man-to-man basis, Sikkim are the second-strongest side in the North-Eastern belt and have players who can challenge pre-concieved notion. The likes of Parth Palawat and Ashish Thapa are good batters on their days and with Ankur Malik to support him, Sikkim can actually put up a show. However, for Manipur, they don’t have a lot of strength beyond Pheiroijam Jotin and N Johnson Singh. So the result is a foregone conclusion.

• SIK to Win - 2.35 (Parimatch)
• MAN to Win - 1.52 (Parimatch)
