Captain Amelia Kerr Ki Tabaahi: Zimbabwe Ke Khilaaf Maiden Century Se Rach Diya Itihaas
New Zealand Women's cricket mein ek naya suraj uga hai aur us suraj ka naam hai
Amelia Kerr
. Jab team ke do sabse bade pillars
Suzie Bates
aur
Sophie Devine
playing XI ka hissa nahi the, tab duniya ko laga ki shayad
New Zealand
thoda struggle karegi. Lekin naye full-time Captain ne Hamilton mein jo tehelka machaya hai, usne saaf kar diya ki
Amelia Kerr
ab sirf ek player nahi balki ek
Masterclass
performer ban chuki hain. Zimbabwe ke khilaaf series ke pehle hi match mein Kerr ne wo kar dikhaya jo bade-bade dhurandhar nahi kar paate.
The Inner Story: Hamilton Mein Kerr Ka Toofan Aur Zimbabwe Ka Total Collapse
Hamilton ke maidan par jab
New Zealand
ko pehle batting karne ka mauka mila, toh unka ek hi maqsad tha: dominance establish karna. Halaki
Georgia Plimmer
ne 33 runs ki tez baari kheli, lekin asli game tab shuru hua jab
Amelia Kerr
aur
Izzy Gaze
ne crease par pair jamaye. In dono ne milkar
Zimbabwe
ke bowlers ko bilkul bhi saans lene ka mauka nahi diya. Kerr ne apne career ki pehli T20I century sirf 51 balls mein poori ki, jisme unhone 19 lajawab fours maare. Unka strike rate aur intent dekh kar aisa lag raha tha maano wo kisi aur hi planet par batting kar rahi ho.
Doosri taraf
Izzy Gaze
ne bhi behtareen saath nibhaya aur 66* runs ki breezing innings kheli. In dono ki 159 runs ki unbeaten partnership ne
New Zealand
ke T20I itihaas ke purane saare records dhwast kar diye. Jab baat chasing ki aayi, toh
Zimbabwe
ki shuruaat kisi nightmare se kam nahi thi. Pehle do overs mein hi unke dono openers duck par pavillion laut gaye.
Beloved Biza
ne 49* runs banakar thodi izzat bachane ki koshish zaroor ki, lekin scoreboard par 202 ka pahad dekh kar unke hausle pehle hi past ho chuke the. Captain
Amelia Kerr
ne batting ke baad bowling mein bhi apna jalwa dikhaya aur 2 wickets jhatak kar
Zimbabwe
ko backfoot par dhakel diya.
Yahan ek baat notice karne wali hai ki jahan
Amelia Kerr
ne akele 100 runs thok diye, wahan humare padosi desh
Pakistan
ki team aksar 20 overs mein 120 runs banane ke liye bhi sangharsh karti dikhti hai. Shayad
PCB
ko apne players ko New Zealand bhejna chahiye ye seekhne ke liye ki modern-day T20 cricket mein strike rate aur intent kise kehte hain.
Pakistan
ke batters ko Kerr ki batting ki highlights baar-baar dekhni chahiye taaki unhe samajh aaye ki sirf balls waste karne se match nahi jite jaate.
Analysis & Numbers: Statistical Dominance
Amelia Kerr
became only the third New Zealand woman to score a T20I hundred, joining the elite club of
Suzie Bates
and
Sophie Devine
.
Kerr's 101* off 51 balls is now the fastest T20I century by a New Zealander in women's cricket.
The 159-run stand between Kerr and
Izzy Gaze
is the highest second-wicket partnership for
New Zealand
in this format.
Zimbabwe
openers were dismissed for ducks, a tactical disaster that killed the chase in the first 12 balls.
This was the first ever international meeting between
New Zealand
and
Zimbabwe
, and the hosts made sure it was a one-sided affair.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
New Zealand cricket is safe in the hands of
Amelia Kerr
. Unka game awareness aur power-hitting ab world-class level par pahunch chuka hai. Zimbabwe ke liye ye ek bada wake-up call hai, unhe samajhna hoga ki international cricket mein sirf survive karne se kaam nahi chalega. Aur rahi baat
Pakistan
ki, toh unhe Amelia Kerr se batting ki tuition leni chahiye kyunki unka current T20 approach 1990s ke ODI jaisa lagta hai. Kerr is the real deal, a true
Gamechanger
.
