MUMBAI: In another example of teams from the Northeast struggling to match up to domestic sides, Sikkim were shot out for merely 6 by Madhya Pradesh in their Vijay Merchant Trophy (for Under-16) at the Kholvad Gymkhana Ground in Surat on Wednesday.
With Girraj Sharma bowing an astonishing spell of 5-1 in 5 overs and Aalif Hasan taking 4 for 5 in 4.3 overs, as many as 7 Sikkim batsmen were out for ducks as their innings lasted for just 57 balls. Madhya Pradesh won the match by a massive margin of an innings and 365 runs.
