Chasing a target of 75, Kuwait faced an early challenge as they lost two wickets during the initial stages of their reply. The dismissal of Adnan Idrees, who fell with the score at 39 in just 2.3 overs, provided a brief moment of hope for the Bhutanese bowlers. However, any thoughts of a collapse were quickly extinguished by the aggressive intent of Ravija Sandaruwan.
Sandaruwan took the game away from Bhutan in a matter of minutes, racing to 40 runs off just 11 balls. His explosive cameo ensured Kuwait reached the target comfortably, finishing on 78/2 to seal the win.

The result reinforces Kuwait's position in the tournament as they continue their campaign in the Asia Sub Regional Qualifier A.
