Bhutan vs Myanmar Highlights, 4th T20I | Dec 27: BHU defeat MYA by 121 runs, Bhutan lead the series 4-0

BHU vs MYAN 4th T20I Highlights of Myanmar tour of Bhutan saw Bhutan deliver a commanding all-round performance to secure a 121-run victory over Myanmar at the Gelephu International Cricket Ground. Batting first, Bhutan posted an imposing 223 for 5 before restricting Myanmar to 102 for 7 in the chase. The result confirmed Bhutan’s dominance in the five-match series as they moved to an unassailable 4-0 lead.

Myanmar won the toss and elected to field first, a decision that quickly came under pressure as the surface at Gelephu rewarded clean hitting. Bhutan’s innings was defined by a clear intent to attack, particularly through the middle overs, where the run rate accelerated beyond Myanmar’s control. Despite an early wicket, the hosts were able to build steadily before unleashing a decisive surge that set the tone for the match.

BHU batting effort balanced early aggression with sustained momentum. Namgay Thinley’s brief but explosive start set the tempo, while Tenjin Rabgey provided stability through the middle with a well-paced half-century. The innings truly shifted when Ranjung Mikyo Dorji took control, scoring 73 from just 32 balls, combining placement with power to dismantle the bowling attack. Gakul Ghalley’s rapid 40 further compounded Myanmar’s troubles, pushing the total beyond 220 and leaving little margin for error.

MYA bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs, particularly as boundary options opened up late in the innings. While Pyae Phyo Wai claimed two wickets, the overall lack of control in key overs allowed Bhutan to maintain a run rate above eleven an over. Extras also played their part, adding to the mounting pressure as the total climbed beyond reach.

Chasing 224, Myanmar never found sustained momentum. Early wickets and a rising required run rate forced them into consolidation mode, which only tightened Bhutan’s grip. Pyae Phyo Wai top-scored with 31, but the innings lacked partnerships of substance. Bhutan’s bowlers applied consistent pressure through the powerplay and middle overs, with Sonam Yeshey conceding just seven runs in his four overs and Namgay Thinley striking three times to halt any resistance.

As the innings progressed, the gap between the sides became more pronounced. Myanmar’s lower order offered limited resistance, and the chase tapered off well short of the target. Bhutan’s adaptability with both bat and ball underlined their control throughout the match, reflecting a side well-drilled in executing plans across phases.
