Highlights: How the Game Unfolded
1. Bhutan’s Resilience with the Bat After being asked to bat first, Bhutan struggled to find consistent partnerships on a dry Gelephu surface. However, wicketkeeper-batter Namgang Chejay played a vital anchor role, smashing an unbeaten 50 off 45 balls. His steady knock, supported by a quick-fire 27 from Namgay Thinley, pushed the total to a defendable 127.
2. Sonam Yeshey’s Bowling Masterclass Myanmar’s chase never got off the ground as Sonam Yeshey produced a world-record-level spell. Yeshey finished with staggering figures of 8 wickets for just 7 runs in 4 overs. He utilized the conditions perfectly, claiming four wickets in a single over at one point to leave the visitors reeling.
3. Myanmar’s Batting Collapse The visiting side had no answers for the Bhutanese spin attack. Myanmar was bundled out for their lowest total of the series (45) in less than 10 overs. Only Pyae Phyo Wai (10) and Htet Lin Oo (12) reached double figures before the tail was quickly polished off by Anand Mongar.
