Abu Dhabi ke maidan mein Tri-series ka aagaz ho chuka hai aur pehle hi match mein bada ulatfer dekhne ko mil raha hai. Toss ki baazi Zimbabwe ne jeeti hai aur unhone pehle batting karne ka faisla kiya hai. Lekin asli khabar toss nahi, balki Bangladesh ke dressing room se aa rahi hai jahan choton aur bimaari ne hulla bol diya hai.
The Guru Story
Abu Dhabi ki garmi mein Zimbabwe ke stand-in captain Sikandar Raza ne coin apne haq mein giraya aur bina kisi hichkichahat ke batting chun li. Zimbabwe ki team yahan ek naye chehre Tafadzwa Tsiga ke saath utri hai jo aaj apna debut kar rahe hain.
Doosri taraf, Bangladesh ki kismat ne unhe bada dhoka diya hai. Unke regular captain Litton Das right hip joint injury ki wajah se poori tri-series se bahar ho gaye hain. Ye Bangladesh ke liye kisi bade jhatke se kam nahi hai. Unki jagah ab Towhid Hridoy captaincy ki kaman sambhaal rahe hain. Itna hi nahi, team ke star all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz bhi pichle teen dinon se viral fever se joojh rahe hain aur aaj ke match ka hissa nahi hain.
Bowling department mein Hasan Mahmud ki 12 mahine baad ODI team mein wapasi hui hai. Hairat ki baat ye hai ki Mustafizur Rahman ko unke Asian Games ke kharab performance ke bawajood team mein barkarar rakha gaya hai. Kya Fizz aaj selectors ke bharose par khare utrenge ya phir wahi purani kahani dohrayenge?
Analysis & Numbers
- Litton Das ki gair-maujoodgi mein Bangladesh ka batting order kamzor dikh raha hai jahan Rishad Hossain ko Number 8 par promote kiya gaya hai.
- Zimbabwe ne teen pace bowlers ke saath attack karne ka plan banaya hai jo Abu Dhabi ki pitches par faydemand ho sakta hai.
- Debutants Call: Tafadzwa Tsiga wicketkeeping ki zimmedari nibhayenge aur unka international career aaj se shuru ho raha hai.
- Captaincy Shift: Towhid Hridoy ke liye ye agni-pareeksha hai kyunki unhe bina apne do bade match-winners ke team ko lead karna hai.
Playing XIs for the encounter:
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy (capt), Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wk), Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.
Zimbabwe: Brian Bennett, Ben Curran, Brendan Taylor, Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza (capt), Wessley Madhevere, Tafadzwa Tsiga (wk), Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Newman Nyamhuri, Blessing Muzarabani.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Bangladesh ki team filhaal hospital ward zyada aur cricket team kam lag rahi hai. Litton Das aur Mehidy Hasan Miraz ke bina ye team kaafi ordinary nazar aa rahi hai. Sikandar Raza ek chatur kaptaan hain aur unhone batting chun kar Bangladesh ke pressure ko double kar diya hai. Agar Mustafizur Rahman ne aaj extra effort nahi dikhaya, toh Zimbabwe Abu Dhabi mein bada khel kar sakti hai. Bangladesh ke liye ye match survival ki jung hai!
