🇧🇹 A Historic Day for Bhutan Cricket
Bhutan cricket reached a historic milestone as the national men’s team registered a record-breaking 120-run victory over Myanmar in Match 2 of the Bhutan–Myanmar Men’s T20I Bilateral Series. The emphatic win marked the highest margin of victory in Bhutan’s T20I history, underlining the team’s rapid growth on the international stage.
The match was filled with firsts and unforgettable moments. Batting first, Bhutan posted a massive total of 217 runs, the highest T20I score ever recorded by the team, setting a daunting challenge for the opposition.
At the heart of this remarkable performance was Namgay Thinley, who etched his name into the history books by becoming Bhutan’s first-ever T20I centurion. His landmark innings not only anchored the innings but also symbolised a new era of confidence and ambition in Bhutan cricket.
The encounter also witnessed a sensational all-round display from Tashi Dorji, who turned the match decisively in Bhutan’s favour. Dorji played a blistering cameo with the bat, scoring 39 runs off just 13 balls, injecting momentum at a crucial stage. He then followed it up with a devastating spell of bowling, claiming 3 wickets for just 3 runs, completely dismantling Myanmar’s batting lineup.
Myanmar struggled to respond to the pressure created by Bhutan’s bowlers and were eventually bowled out well short of the target, sealing a comprehensive and historic win for the hosts.
This victory was more than just a result on the scoreboard. It was a statement of intent—a reflection of Bhutan cricket’s progress, belief, and growing competitiveness in international cricket. With performances like these, the future of Bhutan cricket looks brighter than ever. 🏏🇧🇹
