Series seal karne ka irada aur attack mein world-class pace ki entry: Harare mein hone wale doosre ODI ke liye Australia ne apni team mein bade badlav kiye hain. Zimbabwe ke captain Sikandar Raza ne toss jeet kar pehle bowling chunni hai taki subah ki moisture ka fayda uthaya ja sake. Lekin samne khadi hai ek aisi team jo series ko aaj hi khatam karne ke mood mein hai.
The Guru Story: Experience Aur Speed Ka Double Attack
The Guru Gyan ke viewers ke liye sabse badi news yeh hai ki Josh Hazlewood finally ODI format mein wapas aa gaye hain. October ke baad se unhone koi ODI nahi khela tha kyunki workload management ke naam par unhe rest diya ja raha tha. Unke saath team mein Billy Stanlake ki bhi entry hui hai jo apna 9th match khel rahe hain. In dono ne Xavier Bartlett aur Spencer Johnson ko replace kiya hai. Youngsters ko baahar baithna pada hai kyunki Australia ab dominance chahti hai.
Wahi batting line-up mein koi badlav nahi hai. Mitch Marsh aur Travis Head ki explosive jodi opening karegi. Sabse badi chinta ki baat Cameron Green ko lekar hai jo abhi bhi shoulder soreness ki wajah se baahar hain. Team management ko umeed hai ki woh third ODI tak fit ho jayenge. Dusri taraf Zimbabwe ne apni purani team par hi bharosa jataya hai. Brendan Taylor wicketkeeping aur batting dono sambhal rahe hain jabki spinners mein Wellington Masakadza ko tarjih di gayi hai.
Analysis & Numbers: Kya Kehti Hai Harare Ki Pitch
- Pitch par kaafi grass hai jo fast bowlers ko shuruat mein help karegi lekin match jaise aage badhega spin factor play mein aayega.
- Josh Hazlewood ka record ODI mein hamesha se lethal raha hai aur Harare ki conditions unki line-length ko suit karegi.
- Sikandar Raza ki team ne pichle match mein kuch moments dikhaye the lekin batting depth ki kami unhe bhari pad rahi hai.
- Australia agar aaj jeet jati hai toh series par kabza ho jayega aur third match sirf ek formality reh jayegi.
Playing XIs
Australia XI: Mitch Marsh (capt), Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Matt Renshaw, Oliver Peake, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Billy Stanlake.
Zimbabwe XI: Brian Bennett, Ben Curran, Innocent Kaia, Brendan Taylor (wk), Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza (capt), Wessly Madhevere, Brad Evans, Newman Nyamhuri, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Murazabani.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Zimbabwe ne bowl karke sahi move toh chala hai lekin unke samne Mitchell Marsh aur Travis Head jaise destructive players hain. Agar Australia ne pehle 10 overs nikal liye toh ek bada total pakka hai. Josh Hazlewood aur Billy Stanlake ki pace Zimbabwe ke top order ke liye nightmare sabit hone wali hai. Australia is clearly favorites to win the series today.
