AZ Group Cricket Oval is a cricket stadium located at Phnom Penh in Cambodia. It hosted the cricket tournament during the 2023 Southeast Asian Games.
History
[edit]A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Cricket Federation Cambodia Association and AZ Group to assist and promote Cambodia for the cricket tournament in 2023 Southeast Asian Games. The memorandum also provided AZ Group to be the long-term partner for the cricket federation.
Vath Chamroeun, the President of Cricket Federation Cambodia Association, signed the memorandum and said that the National Organising Committee of 2023 Southeast Asian Games as well as the cricket federation were thankful to AZ Group for helping in construction of a "clean and environmental friendly" ground.[1]
The ground has a bowler-friendly surface, which particularly favours the pacers.[2]
From April to May 2023, this ground hosted cricket in the Southeast Asian Games which was played in four different formats for both men and women - 50-overs, T20, T10 and 6-a-side cricket.[3] During this tournament, they hosted the first men's Twenty20 International matches played in Cambodia.
