Injured Australia ke liye khatre ki ghanti: Kya Zimbabwe phir se rachega itihas?
Cricket ke maidan par jab bade naam girte hain, toh shor sabse zyada hota hai. Colombo ke Premadasa Stadium mein kuch aisa hi mahaul banta dikh raha hai.
Australia
ki team technically powerhouse hai, lekin filhaal unka camp kisi hospital ward jaisa lag raha hai. Captain
Mitchell Marsh
bahar hain aur
Tim David
fitness test pass karne ki koshish kar rahe hain. Doosri taraf,
Zimbabwe
ki team 'buoyant' hai, confident hai, aur unhe pata hai ki ghayal sher par hamla kab karna hai. Yeh sirf ek match nahi, balki ek massive upset ki script lag rahi hai.
Injury Crisis aur 2007 ka Ghost: Asli Maajra
Australia
ne
Ireland
ko harakar tournament ka aaghaz toh clinical tareeke se kiya, lekin off-field tensions unka peecha nahi chhod rahi.
Mitchell Marsh
ki testicular injury ne unhe selection se bahar kar diya hai, jo team ke balance ke liye bada jhatka hai.
Nathan Ellis
ne pichle match mein comeback karte hi apni worth prove kar di thi, lekin bowling attack abhi bhi thoda inexperienced lag raha hai, khaaskar tab jab samne aggressive
Brian Bennett
jaisa player ho jo powerplay mein tabahi machane ke liye jana jata hai.
History ki baat karein toh
Zimbabwe
ke paas bragging rights hain. Yaad hai 2007 ka woh T20 World Cup? Jab
Zimbabwe
ne
Ricky Ponting
,
Adam Gilchrist
, aur
Brett Lee
se bhari
Australia
ko 5 wickets se dhool chatai thi. Us waqt log ise chamatkar keh rahe the, lekin aaj ki
Zimbabwe
team mein woh fire hai ki woh kisi bhi team ka game bigad sakein. Unka pace attack, jisme
Blessing Muzarabani
lead role mein hain,
Oman
ko saste mein samet kar yahan tak pahuncha hai. Jabki hamare padosi
Pakistan
ke players aksar pressure mein 'pindi' ban jate hain,
Zimbabwe
ne dikhaya hai ki bina kisi bade hype ke kaise clinical cricket kheli jati hai.
Tactical Analysis aur Player Watch
Cameron Green
par sabki nazrein hongi. Pichle 12 innings mein 10 baar unhone 17 se zyada runs banaye hain, lekin badi baari (Big Score) abhi bhi missing hai. Woh No. 3 par muscular batting kar rahe hain aur ball ko acche se hit kar rahe hain, bas unhe ek bada total finish karna hoga. Wahi bowling mein
Blessing Muzarabani
Kangaroos ke liye kaal ban sakte hain. Unka height advantage aur bounce slow Premadasa pitch par bhi trouble create kar sakta hai.
Australia
ki probable XI mein
Travis Head
captaincy karenge.
Matt Renshaw
ne
Ireland
ke khilaaf 37 runs banakar apni jagah lagbhag pakki kar li hai. Lekin
Zimbabwe
ke liye chinta ki baat unke veteran
Brendan Taylor
ki injury hai, jo shayad is match se bahar rahein. Unki jagah
Clive Madande
ko moka mil sakta hai, lekin kya woh
Adam Zampa
ki mystery spin ko jhel payenge? Yeh dekhna dilchasp hoga.
Stats aur Trivia: The Numbers Game
Glenn Maxwell
aur
Marcus Stoinis
dono hi apne 50th T20I wicket se sirf ek kadam door hain.
Blessing Muzarabani
ko 100 T20I wickets poore karne ke liye sirf 4 wickets chahiye.
Australia
aur
Zimbabwe
ke beech ab tak sirf 3 T20I matches huye hain, jisme score 2:1 hai favor of
Australia
.
Premadasa Stadium ki pitch slow aur spin-friendly hogi, jo
Adam Zampa
aur
Sikandar Raza
ke liye swarg jaisi hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
On paper,
Australia
heavy favorites hain, lekin cricket paper par nahi pitch par kheli jati hai. Agar
Zimbabwe
ne pehle batting karke 160-170 touch kar liya, toh yeh 'Depleted' Australian line-up pressure mein bikhar sakta hai.
Zimbabwe
ka spirit aur
Australia
ki injury list milkar ek bada upset create kar sakte hain. Hum toh kehte hain ki Kangaroos ko halki fielding aur 'Lazy' approach mehngi padegi. Is match mein intent hi winner decide karega, aur filhaal intent
Zimbabwe
ke camp mein zyada dikh raha hai.
