Cricket ke maidan par aksar records bante hain, par kabhi kabhi aisi ghatna ho jati hai jo sabko hairan kar deti hai. Sri Lanka ne West Indies ko ek baar phir narrow margin se hara kar ODI series mein apni pakad mazboot kar li hai. Lekin is match ki sabse badi headline bani Deandra Dottin ka woh ajeeb-o-garib dismissal, jisne Caribbean fans ka dil tod diya.
Asli Maajra: Dottin Ki Galti Aur Sri Lanka Ka Jalwa
Target tha 209 runs ka, aur West Indies ki team chase mein thodi ladkhada rahi thi. Asli drama shuru hua 30th over mein jab Deandra Dottin batting kar rahi thi. Chamari Athapaththu ki ball par unhone sweep shot khelne ki koshish ki, ball wide gayi par wicketkeeper se takrakar wapas Deandra Dottin ki taraf aayi. Yahan unhone ek aisi galti ki jo international level par kam hi dikhti hai. Unhone ball ko pehle bat se tap kiya aur phir haath se pakad liya. Umpires Candace la Borde aur Vrinda Rathi ne discussion kiya aur unhe Obstructing the Field out de diya.
Is dismissal ne West Indies ko backfoot par dhakel diya. Haalaanki Jannillea Glasgow ne ladai jaari rakhi aur apni lagatar dusri fifty lagayi, par woh team ko paar nahi laga saki. Sri Lanka ki taraf se Inoka Ranaweera aur Sugandika Kumari ne 3-3 wickets lekar Caribbean batting order ki kamar tod di.
Analysis: Stats Jo Kahani Bayan Karte Hain
- Vishmi Gunaratne ne 58 runs ki behtareen innings kheli jo Sri Lanka ke liye turning point rahi.
- Jannillea Glasgow ne 50 runs banaye, par doosre end se support na milne ke karan team 14 runs se peeche reh gayi.
- Karishma Ramharack ne shandaar bowling karte hue 3/26 ka spell dala, par unki mehnat par pani pher diya batting collapse ne.
- Sri Lanka ki fielding ne match mein jaan phoonk di, khaaskar Kavisha Dilhari ka woh rebound catch jo match-winning sabit hua.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Deandra Dottin jaise experienced player se aisi "schoolboy error" ki umeed kisi ne nahi ki thi. Jab match itne close ho, toh field awareness sabse zyada matter karti hai. Sri Lanka ne dikha diya hai ki unhe unke ghar mein harana asaan nahi hai. Unka fielding level aur bowling discipline West Indies ke muqable kahin behtar tha. Agar West Indies ko aage badhna hai, toh unhe apne batting nerves par control karna hoga.
