Dhaka ke maidan mein ek baar phir cricket ka ghamasaan shuru ho chuka hai. Dusre ODI mein Australia ke captain Josh Inglis ne toss jeet kar pehle batting karne ka faisla liya hai. Yeh faisla thoda hairatangez zaroor hai kyunki pichle match mein Australia ne bowling chunni thi, lekin pitch ka badla hua mizaj dekh kar Inglis ne runs board par lagane ka man banaya hai. Match shuru hone se pehle hi Australia ne ek bada bomb phoda hai Riley Meredith ki shakal mein.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Doston, asli kahani yahan Riley Meredith ke ird-gird ghum rahi hai. Riley Meredith ko match shuru hone se mahaj kuch ghante pehle squad mein shamil kiya gaya. Hairani ki baat yeh hai ki woh pehle sirf T20I squad ka hissa the, lekin Liam Scott ki jagah unhe 5 saal baad ODI cricket mein wapsi karne ka mauka mil gaya hai. Yeh unka pehla ODI hai 2019 ke baad, aur seedha Dhaka ki garmi mein unhe aag ugalne ke liye bula liya gaya hai.
Doosri badi khabar Australia ke batting lineup se aa rahi hai. Form se jujh rahe Marnus Labuschagne ko batting order mein niche dhakel diya gaya hai. Woh aaj number 7 par batting karne aayenge, jo saaf darshata hai ki team management unke current form se khush nahi hai aur unhe finisher ke roop mein test karna chahti hai. Wahin, Bangladesh ne bhi apne top order mein badlav kiya hai. Lagatar flop ho rahe Saif Hassan ko bahar ka rasta dikha diya gaya hai aur tajurbe-kaar Soumya Sarkar ki wapsi hui hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Riley Meredith pura 5 saal ka vanvaas khatam karke Australia ki ODI jersey mein dikhenge.
- Marnus Labuschagne ka number 7 par batting karna unke career ka ek bada tactical shift ho sakta hai.
- Dhaka ki yeh pitch pichle match ke muqable thodi dry lag rahi hai, jahan spin ka bolbala ho sakta hai.
- Soumya Sarkar ke kandhon par Bangladesh ko ek mazboot shuruaat dilane ki badi zimmedari hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Australia ka yeh approach kaafi aggressive hai. Meredith ko suddenly squad mein laana aur Labuschagne ka batting position badalna dikhata hai ki Australia experimental mode mein hai. Bangladesh ke liye yeh sunhera mauka hai kyunki agar unhone Australia ke top order ko jaldi lapet liya, to Labuschagne jaise players par pressure double ho jayega. Hamari nazar mein Australia abhi bhi heavy favourite hai, lekin Dhaka ki turning pitch par Bangladesh ke spinners khela kar sakte hain.
