Namibia ke khilaaf mili sharmaanak haar ke baad South Africa ne aisi waapsi ki hai ki Zimbabwe ko samajh hi nahi aaya ki unke saath hua kya. 'Baby AB' ke naam se mashhoor Dewald Brevis ne batting nahi, balki tabaahi machayi hai. Zimbabwe ke bowlers ko ground ke har kone mein dho dala aur match ko mazaak bana kar rakh diya.
The Guru Story
Namibia T20I tri-series mein South Africa ne apni Dominance wapas hasil kar li hai. Pehle batting karte huye Zimbabwe ne 10 overs tak 76 runs bana liye the aur unka sirf ek wicket gira tha. Aisa lag raha tha ki score 180 ke paar jayega, lekin uske baad Proteas bowlers ne jo shikanja kasa, usne Zimbabwe ki batting line-up ki kamar tod di. 74/1 se lekar 144/8 tak ka safar kisi bure sapne jaisa tha. Duan Jansen ne runs toh kharch kiye, lekin 3 crucial wickets lekar Gamechanger sabit huye.
Jab chase ki baari aayi, toh Dewald Brevis ne show apne naam kar liya. 145 runs ka target utna hi tha jitna South Africa ne Namibia ke khilaaf banaya tha, lekin is baar result alag tha kyunki Brevis ne Unfiltered aggression dikhaya. Unhone Graeme Cremer ko aate hi aade haathon liya aur unke ek hi over mein lagataar sixes jad diye. Cremer ka comeback nightmare ban gaya jab unhone sirf 2 overs mein 32 runs luta diye. South Africa ne ye target sirf 13.5 overs mein hi hasil kar liya, jo unki power aur intent ka saboot hai.
Haalaanki, Tony de Zorzi ki form ab bhi chinta ka vishay bani hui hai. Wo lagataar doosri baar saste mein out huye, lekin jab aapke paas Dewald Brevis jaisa hitter ho, toh baaki galtiyan chhup hi jati hain. Zimbabwe ke captain Sikandar Raza bhi Brevis ke toofaan ko rokne mein nakaam rahe.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Ye jeet South Africa ke liye ek zaroori wake-up call thi. Dewald Brevis ne phir se prove kar diya hai ki wo world cricket ka agla bada superstar hai. Zimbabwe ki batting collapse dekh kar aisa laga jaise unhone Pakistan se coaching li ho: achi shuruat karo aur phir pressure mein aakar surrender kar do. Agar Zimbabwe ko is series mein survive karna hai, toh unhe batting mein thodi Consistency lani hogi. Filhaal toh Proteas ne bata diya hai ki asli boss kaun hai.
