TEAMS PREVIEW

Bhutan Preview

Bhutan will head into this game looking to bounce back after suffering a 66-run defeat against Bahrain in their last match. Chasing 140, they were bowled out for 73 in 18.4 overs.

With the bat, Namgang Chejay was the top scorer with 26 runs off 31 balls. Tashi Phuntsho contributed 18 off 26 balls, while Sonam Yeshey provided some late impetus with 11 off just five deliveries. However, Bhutan's top order struggled to build partnerships, with four of their first five batters scoring only six runs combined.

With the ball, Tashi Phuntsho was one of Bhutan's better performers, taking one wicket for 21 runs in four overs. Gakul Ghalley also picked up one wicket, while Karma Dorji and Anand Mongar claimed one wicket each. Phuntsho's economy of 5.25 was the best among Bhutan's bowlers who completed four overs.

Bhutan will need a much stronger batting effort in this contest, particularly from their top order. Their bowling unit showed some discipline in the previous game, but they will need to create more pressure with wickets if they are to challenge Mongolia.

Key Players: Namgang Chejay, Tashi Phuntsho, Gakul Ghalley

Bhutan Predicted Playing XI:

Sonam Chophel, Tenjin Rabgey, Tshering Tashi, Ranjung Mikyo Dorji, Namgang Chejay, Thinley Jamtsho, Tashi Phuntsho, Gakul Ghalley, Anand Mongar, Karma Dorji, Sonam Yeshey

Mongolia Preview

Mongolia will look to bounce back after suffering a 10-wicket defeat against Kuwait in their last game. They were bowled out for 42 in 14.5 overs before Kuwait chased down the target in just 3.3 overs.

With the bat, Gandemberel Ganbold was Mongolia's top scorer with 21 runs off 32 balls. Namsrai Bat-yalalt remained unbeaten on 5 off 12 balls, while Bilegdemberel Munkhdelger contributed four runs. However, Mongolia struggled to build partnerships, with only one batter crossing the 20-run mark.

With the ball, Mongolia's bowling attack struggled to contain Kuwait, as none of their bowlers managed to take a wicket. Tumursukh Turmunkh conceded 21 runs in 1.3 overs, while Luwsanzundui Erdenebulgan gave away 12 runs in his only over. Sodbileg Gantulga also went wicketless, conceding 10 runs in one over. 

Mongolia will need a significant improvement in both departments after their difficult opening game. Their batting unit will have to spend more time at the crease, while the bowlers need to put up a stronger challenge against Bhutan.

Key Players: Gandemberel Ganbold, Luwsanzundui Erdenebulgan, Sodbileg Gantulga

Mongolia Predicted Playing XI:

Uugan-Erdene Batjargal, Gandemberel Ganbold, Bilegdemberel Munkhdelger, Sodbileg Gantulga, Luwsanzundui Erdenebulgan, Temuulen Amarmend, Tumursukh Turmunkh, Namsrai Bat-yalalt, Zoljavkhlan Shurentsetseg, Bayanbuu Jargaltuya, Battulga Tamjidsuren
