Bhutan vs Myanmar Highlights, 3rd T20I | Dec 26: Sonam Yeshey’s 8-Wicket Haul Power Bhutan To 82-Run Win & Series Victory

BHU vs MYAN 3rd Myanmar tour of Bhutan T20I Highlights captured a one-sided contest at the Gelephu International Cricket Ground as Bhutan sealed an emphatic 82-run win to extend their dominance in the series. Batting first, Bhutan posted 127 for 9 before Myanmar were dismissed for 45 in just 9.2 overs. The result pushed Bhutan to a 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.

Bhutan won the toss and contextually worked against Myanmar’s decision to field, as early discipline with the ball still allowed the hosts to settle. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Bhutan managed to assemble a competitive total through measured accumulation rather than sustained aggression, using the full 20 overs to reach 127.

The innings was held together by wicketkeeper-batter Namgang Chejay, who anchored the middle phase with an unbeaten 50 off 45 balls. Early wickets, including Tenjin Rabgey for a first-ball duck and the removal of Namgay Thinley after a brisk 27, forced Bhutan into consolidation. Contributions from Ranjung Mikyo Dorji and late acceleration from Tashi Dorji ensured the run rate stayed above six despite frequent breakthroughs by Myanmar’s bowlers.

Myanmar’s bowling showed moments of control, particularly from Pyae Phyo Wai and Thuya Aung, who shared four wickets between them. However, the inability to close out the innings early meant Bhutan had a defendable target on a surface that offered just enough assistance for disciplined bowling.

The chase unraveled almost immediately. Myanmar lost four wickets for 21 runs inside the first three overs, all falling to Sonam Yeshey’s incisive new-ball spell. With the top order dismantled, the required rate became irrelevant as survival replaced scoring intent. Only Myat Thu Aung, unbeaten on 7, managed to offer brief resistance as wickets continued to tumble.

Bhutan’s bowling attack maintained relentless pressure through the middle overs. Sonam Yeshey’s spell of 4 overs, 1 maiden, 7 runs, and 8 wickets effectively ended the contest, while Anand Mongar cleaned up the tail to complete the collapse. Myanmar were bowled out for 45, underscoring Bhutan’s adaptability and control across all phases.
