Singapore vs Bahrain 4th T20I Ends in No Result as Rain Plays Spoilsport

Cricket fans in Singapore were left disappointed as the highly anticipated fourth T20I between Singapore and Bahrain in the Bahrain tour of Singapore 2025 ended in a no result due to rain. The match, played at the Singapore National Cricket Ground, promised an exciting contest but was called off after just four overs into Bahrain’s innings.

Before the weather intervened, Singapore had posted a competitive total of 144/8 in their allotted 20 overs, with a solid bowling performance putting early pressure on Bahrain at 12/2 when play was eventually abandoned.

Singapore Posts 144/8 in 20 Overs

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Singapore aimed to put up a challenging total. However, Bahrain’s bowlers maintained control throughout the innings, preventing any major partnerships from flourishing.

Aritra Dutta was the top scorer for Singapore, playing a crucial knock of 45 runs off 36 balls at a strike rate of 125. His innings included five boundaries and two sixes, setting the platform for his side. However, wickets fell at regular intervals, restricting Singapore from gaining momentum.

Manpreet Singh (9), Ishaan Sawney (1), and Aman Desai (16) failed to convert their starts, while Harsh Venkataram remained unbeaten on 6 at the end. The middle order struggled against Bahrain’s disciplined bowling attack, with Ali Dawood (2/20), Rizwan Butt (2/23), and Abdul Majid Abbasi (1/18) ensuring Singapore couldn’t accelerate freely.

Despite these setbacks, Singapore’s total of 144/8 gave their bowlers a competitive score to defend.

Bahrain’s Innings Cut Short at 12/2

Chasing 145, Bahrain faced an early setback as Singapore’s bowlers made an immediate impact. Pranav Sudarshan provided the breakthrough, dismissing Fiaz Ahmed for just 8 runs. Shortly after, Prashant Kurup was run out for 2, leaving Bahrain struggling at 12/2 in four overs.

Sohail Ahmed was at the crease on 2* when the rain arrived, and no further play was possible. Aahan Gopinath Achar and Pranav Sudarshan had bowled tight spells, conceding just 3 and 9 runs respectively while picking up a wicket.

The early wickets meant Singapore was on the front foot, and a full game could have resulted in an exciting contest. However, with the rain persisting, the umpires had no choice but to call off the match.
