Bhutan and Myanmar will take on each other in the first match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Asia Qualifier A 2026-27 at Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur.
Bhutan last featured in the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series in Thailand, where they finished fourth in the points table after losing all three of their matches. Myanmar, meanwhile, most recently played a five-match T20I bilateral series in Bhutan in December 2025 and were beaten 5-0 by the hosts.
In their last five completed matches, Bhutan have recorded two wins and three losses, while Myanmar have lost all five of their matches. Bhutan also hold a dominant head-to-head record against Myanmar. They have won all five of their previous T20I meetings.
With Bhutan having enjoyed consistent success against Myanmar in recent meetings, the two sides will look to begin their Sub Regional Asia Qualifier A campaigns on a strong note.

Bhutan head into the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Asia Qualifier A 2026-27 after winning their most recent match against Thailand in the 3rd-place play-off of the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series in Thailand. They defended a target of 87 in a rain-reduced 13-over contest, restricting Thailand to 79/9 to secure a seven-run victory.
Gakul Ghalley will be one of the key batting options for Bhutan, having scored 346 runs in 34 T20Is. Thinley Jamtsho brings greater experience with the bat, having accumulated 611 runs in 42 T20I appearances, while Namgang Chejay has contributed 189 runs in 20 T20Is. This gives Bhutan several established options in their batting line-up as they begin their campaign in Kuala Lumpur.
The bowling attack will be led by Tashi Phuntsho, who has taken 19 wickets in 31 T20Is. Anand Mongar has also claimed seven wickets in seven T20I matches, while Namgay Thinley has taken 36 wickets in 41 T20Is and adds another experienced option to the attack.
Bhutan will look to build on their seven-run win over Thailand and carry that momentum into their opening qualifier. Their experienced core, particularly in the batting and bowling departments, will be important as they face Myanmar in their first match of the tournament.

Myanmar will enter the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Asia Qualifier A 2026-27 after suffering an 84-run defeat against Bhutan in their most recent T20I. Chasing 140 in the fifth T20I of the series in Gelephu, they were restricted to 55/8 in 20 overs.
Htet Lin Aung has scored 195 runs and taken 19 wickets in 31 T20Is. Khin Aye has added 179 runs in 31 T20Is, while Ko Ko Lin Thu has scored 300 runs and claimed 17 wickets in 32 T20I appearances. Thuya Aung has also contributed 305 runs and taken 19 wickets in 32 T20Is.
Paing Danu provides another all-round option, having scored 229 runs and taken 14 wickets in 19 T20Is. Myanmar will look towards these experienced players to provide contributions with both bat and ball in their opening qualifier.
Myanmar will be keen to put their recent results against Bhutan behind them and begin their campaign on a positive note. They have several players with experience at the international level and will look to deliver a stronger performance in Kuala Lumpur.

The weather in Kuala Lumpur is expected to be cloudy on Monday morning, with the temperature around 26°C. There is a 15% chance of precipitation, while humidity is likely to be around 90%. Winds are expected to be light at approximately 2 km/h, making for humid and overcast conditions at the start of the match.
The venue has produced a low-scoring trend in T20 cricket, with an average first-innings score of 112 runs and the second innings averaging 87 runs. Teams batting first have won 66 matches, while teams bowling first have won 70 matches out of 139. This suggests that chasing has had a slight advantage at the venue, with bowlers likely to play an important role.
Score Prediction
If Bhutan bat first: 110-120 runs
If Myanmar bat first: 95-105 runs
With 70 wins while bowling first compared to 66 wins while batting first, the numbers give a slight advantage to teams choosing to bowl first. The captain winning the toss is likely to prefer chasing.
Toss Prediction: Bhutan to win the toss.
Bhutan will enter this contest after defeating Thailand by seven runs in the 3rd-place play-off of the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series in Thailand. They finished fourth in the tournament with three losses in the league stage before securing a win in their final match. Myanmar, meanwhile, come into the contest after losing their last five matches, including an 84-run defeat against Bhutan in their most recent T20I.
Bhutan have also won all five of their previous T20I meetings against Myanmar, including the five-match series in December 2025. Their recent win and strong head-to-head record give them momentum heading into this encounter.
Bhutan to win the match.
