Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018-19: First impressions of 9 new teams 

Sikkim

Captain Nilesh Lamichaney scored 123 against Arunachal Pradesh in a losing cause.

Sikkim's first match against Manipur ended in a ten-wicket defeat, as a meagre target of 84 proved too low for the latter team. While the bowlers bowled economically, only Lee Yong Lepcha looked to survive with the bat.

Sikkim's bowling in the second match proved flat again, with the team conceding 306 runs to Arunachal Pradesh. A 99-run opening stand between Faizan Khan and captain Nilesh Lamichaney came slowly, and it took over 25 overs for the team to cross their first hundred runs. Even a 123 from the skipper went in vain as they lost the match by 49 runs.
