Myanmar in Indonesia 2024/25

The **Bali Bash International** (BBI) is a cricket series hosted by the **Indonesian Cricket Association** (Persatuan Cricket Indonesia, PCI) at the **Udayana Cricket Ground** in Bali. Launched in 2023, the event serves as a development pathway for national teams in the East Asia-Pacific region. Unlike domestic club competitions, the BBI features national representative squads rather than local franchises.

Matches played under the BBI banner are granted **Twenty20 International (T20I)** status. This designation allows participating nations to earn International Cricket Council ranking points, providing a critical opportunity for emerging teams to improve their global standing. The format is flexible, alternating between bilateral series involving two teams and tri-series that include three sides.

In the November 2024 competition, Indonesia faced Myanmar in a six-match bilateral series. Indonesia secured a decisive victory, winning all six encounters. This result highlights the competitive hierarchy within the region, where host nation Indonesia remains the dominant force. Previous editions have seen participation from Cambodia, while future plans include teams such as Timor-Leste, the Philippines, and South Korea.

The structure of the tournament varies depending on the number of teams involved. Tri-series formats utilize a round-robin group stage followed by a final, whereas bilateral fixtures follow a straight series progression. The competition operates annually or semi-annually, filling a specific gap in the East Asia-Pacific cricket calendar. It acts as a regional qualifier pathway for larger events, such as the ACC Challenger Cup or ICC World Cup qualifiers.

A notable record set during the series includes Indonesia’s women’s team achieving the best bowling figures on T20I debut with 7/0 in 2024. The initiative is distinct from continental championships, focusing instead on providing localized international experience for developing cricket nations.
