Bhutan Cricket - The Official Website

Bhutan’s bowlers took them to a seven-wicket victory over Myanmar, a victory which their batsmen did much to take off the shine from.

Put in to bat Myanmar struggled initially against the tall Dorji Wangchuck who bowled his right-arm seam with considerable pace from the Nong Hoi end at Chiang Mai Gymkhana. There was life in the wicket all day, with a little more pace in it compared to the opening day of the tournament.

It was a battle between extras and the batsmen to see who would contribute the most runs. Extras won, with 26, as Myanmar were all out for 50 in the 30 th over.

Bhutan’s captain Jigme Singye came in and was a class apart. With ye again 5 Wickets hauls in International Tournament, One on-drive struck all along the ground went through to the 8 th hole- fairway behind the ground. Offered a scholarship by Chiang Mai’s Prem Tinsulanonda school on the basis of his performances in last year’s ACC U-15 Challenge Cup, Jigme Singye is a major talent.
