BHU vs MYA Prediction Analysis
The Gelephu International Cricket Ground prepares to host the second T20I of the five-match series between Bhutan and Myanmar on a crisp Wednesday morning. With the match scheduled for a 10:00 AM start, the early morning conditions in the Himalayas will play a crucial role, likely offering assistance to seam bowlers in the initial overs.
The Bhutanese side, playing in familiar conditions, will be looking to leverage their robust development structure to outclass the visitors. Captained by the experienced Thinley Jamtsho, they have had recent exposure to high-quality opposition like Bahrain, which, despite the losses, has hardened their competitive edge.
Myanmar, on the other hand, is a team in the nascent stages of international stability, often oscillating between heavy defeats and surprising competence. Their massive 87-run win over Timor-Leste in November showcased their potential when the top order clicks, posting a formidable 180.
Bhutan vs Myanmar Team Preview & Squads
Bhutan
Captain Thinley Jamtsho remains the pivot around whom this Bhutanese lineup revolves, tasked with stabilizing the innings and making crucial breakthroughs with the ball. His leadership has been instrumental in Bhutan’s rise among associate nations.
BHU batting depth is a mix of promise and fragility, with Namgay Thinley emerging as a key figure capable of anchoring the innings. While they showed they could chase decent totals in the past, their recent failure to chase 176 against Bahrain, finishing on 133/7, highlighted a struggle to accelerate in the middle overs.
BHU bowling attack is spearheaded by Sonam Yeshey and Tashi Phuntsho, who are well-versed in exploiting the local conditions at Gelephu. The inclusion of all-rounders like Namgay Thinley gives them options, but they must be wary of discipline, as loose deliveries were punished in their last series.
In their previous outing against Bahrain on December 12, Bhutan struggled to contain the opposition, conceding 175 runs before their chase fizzled out at 133. It was a performance that underscored the gap between them and higher-tier associates, exposing weaknesses in both death bowling and batting partnerships.

Myanmar
Htet Lin Aung leads the MYA squad, a captain who carries the heavy burden of being one of the team’s primary performers with both bat and ball. His role is to instill belief in a squad that historically suffers from a lack of international exposure.
The Myanmar batting lineup relies heavily on Ko Ko Lin Thu and Htet Lin Oo to provide a solid start, as evidenced by their strong showing in Indonesia. However, beyond the top three, the batting depth is suspect, often prone to collapses against disciplined bowling attacks.
MYA bowling attack, led by the captain and supported by Pyae Phyo Wai, lacks express pace but relies on accuracy and variation. They successfully defended a total against Timor-Leste by restricting them to double digits, showing they can squeeze teams when the scoreboard pressure is on.
In their last recorded match against Timor-Leste in November, Myanmar looked like a completely different beast, posting 180/5 and winning by a massive 87 runs. It was a confidence-boosting performance where their Powerplay hitting and middle-overs management were flawless.

BHU vs MYA Outfield Report
Gelephu International Cricket Ground
The pitch at Gelephu International Cricket Ground typically favors bowlers in the morning session, offering some nip off the surface due to early moisture and cooler temperatures. Batters will need to bide their time in the Powerplay, as the ball might not come onto the bat as nicely as it would in the afternoon.
Weather conditions in Gelephu for this December morning are expected to be cool and dry, with temperatures hovering around the mid-teens. Since it is a morning start, the dew factor—usually a nuisance in evening games, will not be an issue for the bowlers in the second innings.
Powerplay strategy will be conservative for the team batting first; losing wickets early to the moving ball could be fatal. Fielding captains will likely employ aggressive fields with slips in place for the first few overs. Once the ball softens and the sun comes out, the outfield should quicken up, allowing for better scoring opportunities in the middle overs.
