The Story So Far: Bhutan’s Dominance
Bhutan has been clinical throughout the opening stages of this tour. After a comfortable 8-wicket win in the series opener, they followed up with a massive 120-run victory in the 2nd T20I.
- Record-Breaker: Namgay Thinley recently made history by scoring Bhutan’s first-ever T20I century (100 off 47 balls), setting a new benchmark for the national side.
- Bowling Strength: The Bhutanese attack, led by Tashi Dorji and Tenzin Wangchuk, has been relentless, successfully defending a total of 216 in the previous match by restricting Myanmar to just 96 runs.
Myanmar’s Path to Redemption
The visitors, captained by Htet Lin Aung, are searching for more consistency from their top order. While Pyae Phyo Wai has shown sparks of brilliance with both bat and ball, the team needs a collective effort to counter the high-altitude advantage and home crowd energy of the Bhutanese squad.
