Brisbane ke Allan Border Field par Australia ki Women team ne ek baar phir apna dabdaba dikhane ki taiyari kar li hai. Series mein pehle hi mazboot pakad bana chuki Aussie sena aaj clean sweep ke irade se maidan mein utri hai, jabki Bangladesh ki team apni izzat bachane aur series ki pehli jeet darj karne ke liye jiddo-jahad kar rahi hai.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Toss ka sikka ek baar phir Tahlia McGrath ke paksh mein gira. Australian captain ne lagatar teesre match mein toss jeeta aur bina kisi hichkichahat ke pehle bowling karne ka faisla kiya. Tahlia McGrath ka manna hai ki Brisbane ki fresh pitch par shuruat mein fast bowlers ko madad milegi, jiska fayda uthakar wo Bangladesh ko saste mein sametna chahengi.
Australia ke liye badi khabar yeh hai ki unki star opener Phoebe Litchfield aaj ka match nahi khel rahi hain. Unhe hip injury ki shikayat hai, jiski wajah se management ne unhe aaram dene ka faisla kiya hai. Unki jagah right-arm seamer Nicola Carey ko playing XI mein shamil kiya gaya hai. Phoebe Litchfield ki gair-maujoodgi mein batting order mein badlav hua hai aur ab Beth Mooney innings ki shuruat karengi. Aapko bata den ki Beth Mooney ke liye aaj ka din behad khaas hai kyunki wo apna 100th ODI match khel rahi hain.
Doosri taraf, Bangladesh ki captain Nigar Sultana bhi pehle bowling hi karna chahti thi, lekin kismat ne unka saath nahi diya. Series mein ab tak unka batting performance kuch khaas nahi raha hai, jahan unhone 166 aur 220 runs ke scores banaye hain. Aaj ke match ke liye Bangladesh ne 3 bade badlav kiye hain. Seam-bowling allrounder Disha Biswas ko debut cap di gayi hai, jabki Murshida Khatun aur Sultana Khatun ki bhi team mein wapsi hui hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Tahlia McGrath ne series ke sabhi 3 tosses jeet kar 100 percent toss record barkarar rakha hai.
- Beth Mooney aaj apna 100th ODI khel rahi hain, jo unki consistency aur class ka saboot hai.
- Bangladesh ne batting depth badhane ke liye 3 changes kiye hain, jisme Disha Biswas ka debut sabse bada highlights hai.
- Australia ki team ne pitch conditions ko dekhte huye extra seamer Nicola Carey ko shamil kiya hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Australia ka dominance world cricket mein kisi se chupa nahi hai. Phoebe Litchfield ki injury unke liye ek jhatka zaroor hai, lekin unka bench strength itna tagda hai ki koi bhi player aakar game palat sakta hai. Beth Mooney apne 100th match ko yaadgar banane ke liye poori jaan laga dengi. Wahi Bangladesh ke liye raah kaafi mushkil hai: unhe agar jeetna hai to batting mein extra-ordinary karna hoga, warna Australia ki disciplined bowling ke saamne wo phir se dher ho jayenge. Hamara prediction saaf hai: Australia is clear favorite for a 3-0 clean sweep.
