The final of the SEA Games Men's Twenty20 Cricket Competition will see Malaysia take on Cambodia. The AZ Group Cricket Oval in Phnom Penh will play host to this clash on Thursday, May 11.

Both sides are unbeaten in the competition so far, so we can expect a cracking contest.

Malaysia topped Group A of the SEA Games Men's Twenty20 Cricket Competition with four points, having won both their games comprehensively. They beat Indonesia in their opening game and followed it by coming out on top against Thailand, which helped them seal their berth in the final.

The Malaysian bowlers bowled brilliantly as they restricted Thailand to 113/8 at the end of their 20 overs. Virandeep Singh (42*) and Syed Aziz Mubarak (55*) made important contributions to help their team chase down the total in just 12.3 overs.

Malaysia will be looking to repeat their performance in the final against Cambodia.

Cambodia, on the other hand, are also unbeaten in the SEA Games Men's Twenty20 Cricket Competition. They beat Singapore in their first game and carried forward the winning momentum to beat the Philippines in their next fixture to top Group B.

Against the Phillipines, Sahaj Chadha (50) and Luqman Butt (40) built a solid partnership as Cambodia managed 182/5 batting first. Butt then picked up four wickets as it helped them knock over the Philippines on 174 to win the game by eight runs.

Cambodia will hope that their team can once again fire in unison against a strong Malaysian side on Thursday.
