Pathum Nissanka ka Pallekele mein Tandav: Australia ki dhulayi aur Sri Lanka ki Super 8 mein seena taan ke entry
Cricket fans, hold your breath! Pallekele ke maidan par ek aisa cyclone aaya jisne
Australia
ke saare ghamand ko mitti mein mila diya.
Sri Lanka
ke dashing opener
Pathum Nissanka
ne woh kar dikhaya jo bade-bade veteran nahi kar paaye. 182 runs ka peechha karte hue, jab sabko laga ki
Australia
haavi ho jayegi, tab Nissanka ne apni batting se aag laga di. Yeh sirf ek jeet nahi thi, yeh ek statement tha ki Asian teams ko halke mein lene ki galti koi na kare.
The Inner Story: Nissanka ki Masterclass aur Kangaroos ka bura haal
Match ka maajra bada simple tha:
Australia
ne board par 181 runs lagaye the. Target bada tha, par
Pathum Nissanka
ke iraade usse bhi bade the. Nissanka aur
Kusal Mendis
ne shuruat se hi decide kar liya tha ki defensive khelne ka toh sawal hi nahi uthta. Dono ne milkar 97 runs ki aisi partnership ki jisne
Australia
ke bowlers ki line aur length bigad di.
Baat sirf batting ki nahi thi, Nissanka ne field par bhi kamaal dikhaya. Pehle unhone
Glenn Maxwell
ka ek aasaan catch chhoda, lekin agle hi over mein ek aisi flying catch pakdi ki sab dang reh gaye. Redemption ho toh aisa! Uske baad jab batting ki baari aayi, toh Nissanka ne pichhle 20 balls mein 50 runs koot diye.
Mitchell Marsh
ki sena dekhti reh gayi aur
Sri Lanka
ne 18 overs mein hi khel khatam kar diya. Dew ka wait karte-karte Nissanka ne
Australia
ko pani pila diya.
Analysis aur Numbers: Nissanka ka Statistics wala Toofaan
Pathum Nissanka
ne sirf 52 balls mein 100 runs banaye, jo is
T20 World Cup
ki pehli century hai.
Nissanka ne apni innings mein 5 chauke aur 3 chhake sirf aakhri 20 balls ke andar maare, dikhate hue ki accelerator kab dabana hai.
Kusal Mendis
ne 38 balls mein 51 runs banakar foundation set kiya, jisse
Sri Lanka
ka run rate hamesha control mein raha.
Is jeet ke saath
Sri Lanka
ne Super 8 mein apni jagah pakki kar li hai, ek match baaki rehte hi.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Dekho bhai, seedhi baat hai. Pathum Nissanka ne dikha diya ki T20 cricket mein sirf power hitting kaafi nahi hai, dimaag bhi chahiye hota hai. Jab hamari padosi team,
Pakistan
, points table par calculator lekar baithi hoti hai aur har match ke baad "IF" aur "BUT" ki mala japti hai, wahan
Sri Lanka
ne maidan mein karke dikhaya hai. Australia ko unhi ke game mein harana koi chhoti baat nahi hai. Nissanka ki yeh innings un sab critics ke mooh par tamaacha hai jo kehte the ki Sri Lankan cricket khatam ho chuki hai. Australia ne socha tha dew aayega, par unka luck hi dry nikla. Nissanka is the real deal!
