County Cricket ke maidan par jab Desi tadka lagta hai, toh manzar badal jata hai. Merchant Taylors School mein khel ja rahe is blockbuster muqable mein Kent ne Middlesex ki halat kharab kar di hai. 356 runs ke pahad jaisa target ka peecha karne utri Middlesex ki team Ekansh Singh ki aandhi mein udd gayi. Day 3 ke khatam hone tak Middlesex ne 186 runs par 4 wicket gawa diye hain aur jeet ke liye abhi bhi 170 runs ki zaroorat hai.
The Guru Story
Is match ka asli hero koi aur nahi balki England Lions ke superstar Ekansh Singh hain. Subah jab batting ki baari aayi toh Ekansh Singh pehli hi ball par duck out ho gaye the, lekin asali sher wahi hota hai jo galti se seekhe aur palatwar kare. Bowling mein aate hi Ekansh Singh ne Middlesex ke top order ka kaleja bahar nikaal liya. 68 for 0 se score dekhte hi dekhte 103 for 3 ho gaya, aur is tabaahi ke piche Ekansh Singh ka 3 for 35 ka spell tha.
Pehle Ekansh Singh ne veteran opener Sam Robson ko pavilion bheja, phir Max Holden ka danda ukhad diya. Unhone yahin dum nahi liya aur Luke Hollman ko bhi chalta kiya. Middlesex ke liye Ben Geddes aur Leus du Plooy ne koshish zaroor ki, lekin din khatam hote-hote Kent ne apna dabdaba barkarar rakha.
Isse pehle batting mein Kent ke liye Tawanda Muyeye ne tabaah-kun batting ki. Unhone sirf 64 runs banaye lekin unka strike rate kisi T20 player se kam nahi tha. Wahin doosri taraf Ben Compton ne apni deewar khadi kar di aur 65 runs ki solid innings kheli. Middlesex ki taraf se Tom Helm ne 3 wickets lekar ladne ki koshish ki, lekin Kent ne target ko 350 ke paar pahuncha kar adha match wahi jeet liya tha.
