Sovima Cricket Stadium is a cricket ground in Dimapur, Nagaland. It is the only cricket ground in the eastern state of India.[1]
In 2012, Nagaland Cricket Association and Government of Nagaland inaugurated a new stadium in Sovima near Dimapur. It had 10.33 crores and contained all the modern technologies.[2]
The ground has floodlights so that the stadium can host day-night matches.
It also has a branch of the National Cricket Academy so that players need not to travel to Guwahati and other places for training and coaching camps.[3]
The first match played on this ground was between the Under-16 Dimapur district team and the Sovima Youth Cricket Club. Dimapur defeated Sovima Youth Cricket Club by 68 runs in this friendly match of 50 overs in April 2012.[4]
In 2013, the stadium was the host of the Nagaland Cricket Association North East Twenty20 Cup.[5]
