Edgbaston ke maidan par maha-muqabla hone wala tha India vs Pakistan ka, lekin usse pehle T20 World Cup debutants ne jo jalwa dikhaya, usne sabko hairan kar diya. Netherlands ki team ne bata diya ki woh yahan sirf ghumne nahi aayi hai. Captain Babette de Leede ki fighting innings ne Bangladesh ke kheme mein khatre ki ghanti baja di thi, lekin end mein experience kaam aaya aur Bangladesh ne yeh match 6 wickets se apne naam kiya.
The Guru Story
Kise pata tha ki debut kar rahi Netherlands ki team itna tagda counter-attack karegi? Match shuru hua aur Netherlands ne bat pehle tham li. Halaanki unki shuruat thodi nervy rahi aur Marufa Akter ne early strike karke pressure banaya, lekin Captain Babette de Leede ek end par khadi rahi. Jab wickets gir rahe the, tab unhone spinners ke khilaaf aggressive footwork dikhaya aur apni team ko 139 tak pahunchaya. Innings break par Dutch players huddle mein dance kar rahe the, unka confidence dekh kar lag raha tha ki Bangladesh ke liye raah aasan nahi hogi.
Chase shuru hui toh Juairiya Ferdous ne decide kar liya tha ki aaj boundaries ki baarish karni hai. Unka intent clear tha, unhone debutant hone ke bawajood Dutch bowlers ko koi riyaayat nahi di. 50 runs ki unki innings ne base toh set kar diya tha, par beech mein wickets girne se match fasa hua lag raha tha. Wahan se Sharmin Akhter aur Shorna Akter ne maturity dikhayi aur 56 runs ki steady partnership karke victory confirm ki. Yeh Bangladesh ke liye T20 World Cup itihaas ki sabse badi successful chase hai.
