Wankhede mein Italy ka 'Italian Job': Mosca Brothers ne Nepal ko 10 wickets se raunda
Wankhede Stadium ka maidaan aur Blue Jersey ka dabdaba: yeh combo hamesha hit rehta hai. Lekin is baar yeh dominance Team India ki nahi, balki
Italy
ki thi. World Cup ke bade manch par
Italy
ne woh kar dikhaya jiski umeed shayad hi kisi ne ki thi. Mumbai ke crowd ke samne, jo zyada tar
Nepal
ko support kar raha tha, Azzurri ne ek clinical performance di aur
Nepal
ki team ko har department mein pichhad diya.
The Inner Story: Mosca Brothers ka Masterclass aur Nepal ki batting disaster
Match ki shuruat
Italy
ke bowlers ne set ki. Jab
Nepal
batting karne utri, toh unhe laga tha ki woh ek bada total khada karenge, khas karke England ke khilaf unke pichle fightback ke baad. Magar
Italy
ke spinners ne jaise jaal bichha rakha tha.
Crishan Kalugamage
,
Ben Manenti
, aur
JJ Smuts
ne milkar
Nepal
ke middle order ki kamar tod di.
Nepal
ka score ek waqt par 93 for 3 tha, jo dekhte hi dekhte 123 par all out ho gaya. Yeh collapse itna ganda tha ki
Nepal
ke fans bas sar pakad kar reh gaye.
Jab 124 runs chase karne ki baari aayi, toh laga ki shayad
Sandeep Lamichhane
aur
Karan KC
kuch kamaal karenge. Par yahan toh Sydney-raised brothers
Anthony Mosca
aur
Justin Mosca
ne apna hi alag show shuru kar diya.
Anthony Mosca
ne pehli hi balls se aggressive approach apnaya, wahi
Justin Mosca
ne unka bharpoor saath nibhaya. Dono ne milkar
Nepal
ke attack ko be-asar kar diya aur bina koi wicket khoye 13th over mein hi target chase kar liya.
Analysis & Numbers: Itihasik Jeet ke Bade Ankde
Italy
ne
Nepal
ko 10 wickets se harakar apni pehli World Cup win darj ki.
Anthony Mosca
(62*) aur
Justin Mosca
(60*) ne T20 Internationals mein siblings ke beech sabse badi partnership ka record banaya (124 runs).
Crishan Kalugamage
ne apni ghatiya bowling se 3 wickets chatkaye, sirf 18 runs dekar.
Nepal
ka batting collapse: Unhone apne aakhri 7 wickets sirf 30 runs ke andar gawa diye.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Associate cricket mein aksar log sirf badi teams ko dekhte hain, lekin Italy ne aaj bata diya ki woh yahan sirf ghumne nahi aaye hain. Bina apne regular captain Wayne Madsen ke, itna bada statement dena koi choti baat nahi hai. Nepal ke liye yeh ek bada wake-up call hai: agar aap spin friendly track par spinners ko nahi khel paoge, toh tournament mein aage ka safar mushkil hone wala hai. Italy ka aggressive brand of cricket dekh kar lag raha hai ki aage bade upsets hone pakke hain.
