Bhutan’s campaign at the ACC Men’s Challenger Cup 2026 came to an end in the Quarterfinals as Singapore secured a 116-run victory in Singapore on Monday. Despite the result, Bhutan produced several encouraging performances, led by an outstanding unbeaten 97 from 18-year-old opener Tenzin Rabgay.
After winning the toss and electing to field first, Bhutan faced a formidable Singapore batting performance. The hosts were bowled out for 338 in 49.3 overs, powered by a blistering 102 from Suryansh Gulecha, a composed 77 from Raheel Thakkar, and an explosive 79 from just 37 deliveries by Harsh Venkatram.
