Bhutan vs Myanmar Highlights, 2nd T20I | Dec 24: BHU defeat MYA by 120 runs, Bhutan lead series 2–0

BHU vs MYAN 2nd Myanmar tour of Bhutan T20I Highlights saw Bhutan produce a dominant all-round performance to secure a 120-run victory over Myanmar at the Gelephu International Cricket Ground. Batting first, Bhutan posted a commanding 216/8 before their bowlers restricted Myanmar to 96/8 in the chase. The result extended Bhutan’s lead in the five-match series to 2–0.

BHU innings was shaped by a clear intent to attack from the outset after MYA elected to field. The surface at Gelephu offered true bounce and value for shots, which Bhutan’s top order exploited with calculated aggression rather than reckless hitting. Early wickets did fall, but the scoring rate never dipped below a level that allowed Myanmar to settle into defensive control.

Namgay Thinley anchored the innings with a measured yet forceful century, providing stability through the middle overs while accelerating decisively against pace and spin. Support came in bursts, most notably from Tashi Dorji, whose brief but explosive stay ensured Bhutan crossed the 200 mark despite losing wickets in clusters during the latter half of the innings. Myanmar’s bowlers found occasional success, but the lack of sustained pressure meant boundaries arrived too frequently to regain momentum.

Defending a steep target of 217, Bhutan’s bowling unit immediately tightened the screws. The powerplay overs dismantled Myanmar’s top order, leaving the chase effectively stalled before it could begin. Accurate seam bowling and disciplined lengths denied Myanmar any early release shots, forcing errors rather than inducing risks.

The middle overs underlined BHU tactical control. Regular strikes prevented partnerships, and the required rate climbed beyond reach well before the final overs. MYA showed brief resistance through Htet Lin Aung and Myat Thu Aung, but the absence of a substantial stand meant the innings never threatened to shift direction. Bhutan’s adaptability with the ball, rotating options without losing control, reflected a side in command of both conditions and contest.
