Asian Games ke cricket ground par aaj Afghanistan ki dhardar bowling ke samne Japan ki team ne ghutne tek diye. Nisshin mein khele gaye is muqable mein Afghanistan ne ek chota target set karne ke bawajood apni dhardar spin bowling se Japan ko backfoot par dhakel diya. Yeh jeet dikhati hai ki kyun Afghanistan ko spin bowling ki factory kaha jata hai.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Match ki shuruat mein Afghanistan ne toss jeet kar pehle batting karne ka faisla kiya. Halaanki Japan ke bowlers ne kafi discipline dikhaya aur Afghanistan ko bade score se roke rakha. Mohammad Akram ne 34 runs banaye aur captain Darwish Rasooli ne 29 runs ki pari kheli. Ek waqt par lag raha tha ki score 110 bhi nahi banega, lekin Mohammad Ishaq ne 17 balls mein 25 runs ki tez tarrar unbeaten innings khel kar team ko 129 tak pahunchaya. Japan ki taraf se Shoma Sugaya-Slater ne behtareen bowling karte hue do wicket jhatke.
Jab target chase karne ki baari aayi, to Japan ne shuruat kafi sambhal kar ki thi. Woh 8th over tak 53 runs par 2 wicket kho kar race mein bane hue the. Lekin uske baad entry hui Arab Gul ki. Apne debut T20I match mein is young leg-spinner ne aisi firki ghumaayi ki Japan ki batting line-up taash ke patton ki tarah bikhar gayi. Arab Gul ne sirf 8 runs dekar 4 bade wickets liye. Unka saath nibhaya left-arm spinner Nangeyalia Kharote ne, jinhone 3 wickets lekar Japan ki bachi-kucha umeedon par paani pher diya. Poori Japan ki team 19.3 overs mein mahaz 81 runs par dher ho gayi.
Analysis & Numbers
- Arab Gul ki Dream Debut: 4 wickets mahaz 8 runs dekar, jo kisi bhi young player ke liye Masterclass se kam nahi hai.
- Mohammad Ishaq ka Strike Rate: Unka 147 ka strike rate is low-scoring game mein Gamechanger sabit hua.
- Japan ki batting ka collapse: 60 for 4 se 63 for 8 tak ka safar Japan ke liye kisi nightmare se kam nahi tha.
- Nangeyalia Kharote ka dominance: 19 runs dekar 3 wickets lekar unhone middle overs mein pressure banaye rakha.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Humein maanna padega ki Japan ne kafi himmat dikhayi, khaas kar wahi Japan jisne haal hi mein India ko bhi thoda pareshan kiya tha. Lekin Afghanistan ki bowling depth alag level ki hai. Jab aapke paas Arab Gul jaise debutants itni Dominance dikhayenge, to badi se badi team ka jeetna mushkil hai. Wese, Japan ki yeh fight dekh kar humare padosi Pakistan ko thodi seekh leni chahiye ki bina kisi drame ke fight kaise di jati hai. Halaki hume pata hai ki udhar strategy se zyada inconsistency ki Prophecy chalti hai. Agla muqabla Nepal ke khilaaf hai, aur wahan asli maza aane wala hai.
