Foreign powered Cambodia stuns Malaysia, snatch gold in men's 50 overs cricket final


PHNOM PENH, May 7 (Bernama): It was a bitter pill to swallow for the national men’s cricket squad as they failed in their bid to defend the 50 overs gold medal in the 2023 SEA Games after going down to Cambodia, by 89 runs in the final, here, on Sunday.

Powered by several imported players from India and Pakistan, the hosts, who won the toss and opted for batting, hit 334 runs in 50 overs in the first innings, which saw Ram Raushan Sharan hit a century with 111 runs at the AZ Group Cricket Oval.
