Women's Big Bash League mein dominance kise kehte hain, yeh aaj Perth Scorchers ne poori duniya ko dikha diya. Ek taraf Beth Mooney ka bat bol raha tha, toh doosri taraf Alana King ki spinning deliveries ne Sydney Thunder ke batting lineup ki dhajjiya uda di. Par is match ki sabse badi headline bani Sophie Devine ki woh selfless sacrifice jisne game ka rukh hi palat diya.
The Guru Story: Selfless Captaincy aur Batting Ka Toofaan
Match ki shuruat Perth Scorchers ke batting dominance se hui. Asli drama tab shuru hua jab Sophie Devine 42 runs par batting kar rahi thi. Unhe mehsoos hua ki unki timing sahi nahi baith rahi aur unka crease par rehna team ke total ko slow kar raha hai. Phir kya tha? Devine ne dikhaya Asli Sportsmanship aur woh voluntary Retired Out hokar pavilion laut gayi taaki koi power-hitter aakar run rate badha sake. Yeh ek pure Gamechanger move tha.
Unke jaate hi Freya Kemp ne maidaan sambhala aur sirf 10 balls mein 30 runs ki aisi tabahi machayi ki Sydney Thunder ke bowlers line-length bhool gaye. Doosre end par Beth Mooney apni class dikha rahi thi. Mooney ne unbeaten 80 runs banaye, jo unka competition record-extending 49th half-century tha. Scorchers ne 183 runs ka pahad khada kar diya.
Chase karne utri Sydney Thunder ki shuruat hi kharab rahi. Chloe Ainsworth ne pehli hi ball par wicket lekar intention saaf kar di thi. Phoebe Litchfield ne thodi koshish ki, lekin unhe bhi Ainsworth ne chalta kiya. Jab match phansne laga, tab aayi Champion leg-spinner Alana King. King ne apne 4-wicket haul se Thunder ke lower order ko tinka-tinka karke bikher diya aur Scorchers ko Table-Top position dila di.
