Arunachal T20 Championship 2025 Venue
All matches are being played at the Mangaldoi Sports Association Ground in Assam, a venue granted by the Assam Cricket Association. The ground carries prestige, having hosted domestic matches including the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy clash between Meghalaya and Chandigarh.
This ground gained notice during the 2019–20 Ranji Trophy, when it hosted a Plate Group match between Meghalaya and Chandigarh. That game, held from December 25 to 28, ended with Chandigarh winning big by an innings and 189 runs. Since then, it has been used for other domestic matches as well, with teams from places like Sikkim, Manipur, and other Northeastern states participating.
What really stands out is how this ground being picked shows the strong connection between the Assam and Arunachal cricket boards. It’s not just about the venue, it’s about two neighboring states working together to promote cricket in the region. The facilities here are solid, good pitch, decent outfield, and just the kind of setup that’s perfect for fast-paced T20 games. It gives players a chance to play in proper conditions and helps raise the level of the game out here.
