BHU vs MYA Match Analysis
The 4th T20I of the Myanmar tour of Bhutan brings us to the scenic Gelephu International Cricket Ground, a venue that is quickly establishing its character in the Associate cricket world. Scheduled for a morning start at 10:00 AM BDT, the cool December air in Bhutan will likely play a significant role, potentially offering early movement for the seamers before the sun fully bakes the surface.
The Bhutan national cricket team enters this contest looking to stabilize their batting order. While their development programs are robust, on-field execution has been marred by inconsistency, evidenced by their recent struggle to defend 102 against Bahrain.
Myanmar, on the other hand, is a team of contrasts, possessing raw, explosive talent nurtured through grassroots programs but lacking deep international exposure. Their weakness lies in a lack of experience against disciplined bowling attacks on tricky surfaces.
Bhutan vs Myanmar Team Preview & Squads
Bhutan
Captain Thinley Jamtsho carries the weight of a nation growing in cricket stature, tasked with marshalling a side that often punches above its weight in the field but trips up with the bat.
The batting depth is a concern for Bhutan, with the team frequently suffering from collapses that leave them posting sub-par totals. Key batter Sherab Loday is the linchpin; when he anchors the innings, Bhutan looks a different side, but he needs support from the middle order.
Bowling is where Bhutan finds its redemption, with a versatile attack capable of defending modest totals. Karma Dorji leads the line with discipline, while all-rounder Suprit Pradhan offers critical balance with both bat and ball. In their last outing, the bowlers did a phenomenal job dragging the game to the final over against Bahrain.
Reflecting on their last match performance, Bhutan’s inability to rotate strike was glaring. Posting 102 all-out is rarely a winning formula, yet the match went down to the wire, with Bahrain winning by 4 wickets with just 4 balls to spare.
Bhutan Squads
Bhutan
Gakul Ghalley, Kishen Ghalley, Sherab Loday, Tenjin Rabgey, Namgay Thinley, Suprit Pradhan, Tashi Phuntsho, Sonam Chophel, Karma Dorji, Sonam Yeshey, Tenzin Wangchuk
Myanmar
Captain Htet Lin Aung leads a MYA side that is eager to prove their recent successes aren’t flashes in the pan. As a key bowler himself, he understands the importance of aggressive field placements and will look to exploit Bhutan’s known batting fragilities.
Myanmar’s batting relies heavily on the form of Khin Aye, who is central to their run-scoring aspirations. The team showed massive potential by smashing 180 against Timor-Leste, a score that would be winning on almost any Associate ground.
The bowling attack, spearheaded by the captain Htet Lin Aung and supported by all-rounder Aung Ko Ko, will try to unsettle the Bhutanese openers early. They have shown they can defend totals, as seen in their 87-run win, but doing it against Bhutan on their home turf is a different challenge.
In their last recorded match against Timor-Leste, Myanmar was dominant in every facet of the game. Scoring 180/5 and restricting the opposition to 93/7 was a statement victory. It displayed a ceiling of performance that is quite high, providing them with a blueprint for how they want to play: aggressive batting backed by clinical bowling.

BHU vs MYA Outfield Report
Gelephu International Cricket Ground
The pitch at Gelephu International Cricket Ground has recently shown tendencies to be on the slower side, favoring bowlers who can take the pace off the ball. As seen in the Bhutan vs. Bahrain match where 102 played 105, run-scoring isn’t straightforward, and shot-making requires patience.
Weather conditions in Gelephu for late December are typically cool and crisp, with temperatures likely requiring players to keep warm. The morning start time suggests that any overnight moisture or dew might bind the surface initially, potentially aiding seam movement in the first few overs.
In terms of Powerplay and fielding, the slow outfield will demand aggressive running between the wickets. Boundaries might be hard to come by, so the team that rotates strike better in the Powerplay without losing wickets will have the upper hand. Fielding will be crucial; with low scores expected, a dropped catch or a misfield could effectively decide the match.
Bhutan vs Myanmar Head-to-Head Stats of Last 5 Matches
