Headingley ke maidan par ek aisa thriller dekhne ko mila jisne fans ki dhadkne badha di thi. Vitality Blast ke is ghamasaan muqable mein Essex ne dikha diya ki kyun unhe pressure handle karna aata hai. Sirf 3 runs se jeet kar unhone Yorkshire ko unhi ke ghar mein dhool chata di. Yeh match kisi Bollywood film se kam nahi tha jahan aakhiri over tak yeh pata nahi tha ki baazi kiske haath lagegi.
The Inner Story: Grace Scrivens ka Toofaan aur Yorkshire ki Chook
Match ki shuruat Essex ki taraf se dhamakedaar rahi. Grace Scrivens ne batting crease par aate hi apne irade saaf kar diye the. Unhone powerful hitting ke dum par 38 balls mein apni fifty poori ki. Grace Scrivens ne 53 runs ki wo innings kheli jisne Essex ko 146 runs ke respectable total tak pahunchne mein madad ki. Halanki, Yorkshire ki Jess Jonassen ne middle overs mein do wickets lekar thoda ankush lagaya, lekin tab tak nuksaan ho chuka tha.
Jab Yorkshire chase karne utri, toh unke captain Lauren Winfield-Hill aur Erin Thomas ne solid start di thi. Ek waqt par lag raha tha ki Yorkshire aram se match nikal legi, lekin cricket mein jab tak aakhiri ball na feki jaye, kuch nahi kaha ja sakta. Grace Scrivens ne sirf bat se hi nahi, ball se bhi kamaal kiya aur Winfield-Hill ko bowl karke match ka rukh palat diya.
Final overs mein Eva Gray ne jo bowling ki hai, use Masterclass hi kahenge. Yorkshire ko aakhiri over mein 9 runs chahiye the, lekin Essex ki pressure-handling skills ne unhe victory dila di. Yorkshire ki team last moment par choke kar gayi aur lagatar chauthi haar unke naseeb mein aayi.
