North Sydney Oval ka maidan taiyaar tha aur fans ek dhuaandhaar finale ki umeed kar rahe the, lekin Indra Dev ne saari planning par paani pher diya. Australia vs New Zealand ke beech teesra T20I match baarish ki wajah se abandoned ho gaya, par Australia ne pehle hi apni dominance dikha kar Rose Bowl trophy par kabza jama liya tha. New Zealand ke liye ye series kisi nightmare se kam nahi rahi, jahan unki batting line-up puri tarah struggle karti nazar aayi.
To kahani ye hai ki:
Match shuru hone se pehle hi baarish ne khallal dala, jiski wajah se game ko 14 overs ka kar diya gaya. Australia ki skipper Sophie Molineux ne toss jeeta aur pehle bowling karne ka faisla kiya. New Zealand ki team ne apni batting order mein bade badlav kiye kyunki pichle matches mein unka performance thanda raha tha. Melie Kerr ko opening par bheja gaya, lekin Sophie Molineux ne unhe pehli hi fursat mein chalta kiya. Ye Sophie Molineux ke career ka 20th first-over wicket tha, jo unki lethal form ko darshata hai.
Doosri taraf, Kim Garth ne apni raftar aur akalmand bowling se Georgia Plimmer ko clean bowled kar diya. Sirf 2.4 overs ka khel hua tha aur New Zealand ka score 11 for 2 tha, tabhi Sydney ki tez baarish ne khel ko puri tarah rok diya. It was an anti-climactic finish, par series result pehle se hi clear tha. Australia ne opener mein 2 wickets se aur doosre match mein 40 runs se jeet kar series 2-0 se apne naam kar li thi.
Is match mein ek aur badi khabar aayi jab Megan Schutt ko Cricket Australia ne do matches ke liye suspend kar diya. Wajah thi prescription medication ke rules ka ullanghan karna. Australia mein discipline kis level ka hai, ye is incident se pata chalta hai. Agar ye situation kisi padosi desh, khaskar Pakistan mein hoti, to shayad wahan ke players aur board ko pata bhi nahi chalta ki rules kya hain. Wahan to fitness aur discipline ka door-door tak koi rishta nahi hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Australia ne series 2-0 se jeet kar Rose Bowl trophy retain ki.
- Sophie Molineux ne apne career ka 20th first-over wicket liya, proving her dominance.
- New Zealand ne sirf 2.4 overs mein apne 2 bade wickets gawa diye the.
- Megan Schutt ki suspension ne dikhaya ki Cricket Australia apne protocols ko lekar kitni strict hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Australia Women ki team is waqt world cricket mein ek alag hi level par hai. New Zealand ne koshish toh ki, par unke paas Australia ke professional standard aur tactical awareness ka koi tod nahi tha. Megan Schutt ka suspension dikhata hai ki kyun Australia top par rehti hai: yahan rules sabke liye barabar hain. Wahin dusri taraf, hamare padosi Pakistan ke players ko dekh lijiye, jahan batting, bowling aur fitness sab bhagwan bharose chalti hai. Unhe Australia se seekhna chahiye ki discipline kya hota hai. New Zealand ko ab March mein hone wali ODI series ke liye naye plans banane honge, warna result fir se wahi hoga.
