🤡After winning the toss, Indonesia opted to bowl first--a decision they soon regretted as Bahrain's opener Fiaz Ahmed blazed his way to a stunning 95 off just 45 balls smashing nine fours and five sixes. Partnering with wicketkeeper-batter Prashant Kurup (31 off 19), the duo forged a dominant 141-run stand in just 13 overs.
♐Skipper Ahmer Nasir then took charge, hammering an unbeaten 61 off 26 while Junaid Aziz and Ubaid Martuza chipped in to propel Bahrain to an imposing 216/4 in 20 overs.
ಌGaurav Tiwari (2/46), Ketut Artawan (1/26) and Ferdinando Banunaek (1/38) were the only Indonesian bowlers to pick up wickets, but they struggled to limit the onslaught from Bahrain’s batters.
🌳Chasing 217, Indonesia faltered right from the start, losing opener Dharma Kesuma for a duck on the very first ball at the hands of Ali Dawood. The hosts never recovered as Bahrain’s disciplined bowling attack dismantled their lineup.
🔜Gaurav Tiwari (18 off 22) and Padmakar Surve (29 off 21) provided some resistance, but wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals.
💦Captain Danilson Hawoe (9) and Kadek Gamantika (16) also failed to convert their starts. Wicketkeeper Ahmad Ramdoni remained unbeaten on 9 as Indonesia crawled to 104/7 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the target.
Rizwan Butt (2/28), Imran Khan ﷽(2/23), and Abdul Majid Abbasi (1/7) starred with the ball, ensuring Bahrain the series victory.
ꦉBahrain kicked off their tour to Indonesia with an emphatic 63-run victory in the first T20I. They repeated their dominance in the second T20I, winning by 10 wickets in a match that was reduced to five overs per side due to a wet outfield.
෴Indonesia pulled one back by winning the third match by eight wickets, denying Bahrain a clean sweep in Bali. However, Bahrain bounced back in the fourth game to take an unassailable lead in the series.
