Mohali ke maidan par aaj asli Desi Power ka display dekhne ko mila.

The Guru Story
Khel shuru hua toh Shubha Satheesh aur Priya Punia ne aisi thos shuruat di ki Aussies dekhte reh gaye. Dono ne milkar 102 runs ki opening partnership ki aur platform set kar diya. Lekin cricket uncertainty ka khel hai. Ek waqt par India A women ka score 102 for 0 se 120 for 4 ho gaya. Lilly Mills ne thoda tang kiya aur captain Yastika Bhatia saste mein pavillion laut gayi. Aisa laga maano Australia A game mein wapsi kar rahi hai.
Lekin tabhi entry hui Tanisha Singh aur Anushka Sharma ki. Dono ne milkar paari ko sambhala aur 82 runs jode. Jab Anushka 44 par out hui, tab Niki Prasad ne crease par kadam rakha.

Australia ki taraf se Lilly Mills aur Charlie Knott ne 3-3 wickets zaroor liye, lekin Indian batters ki intent ke aage unki strategy feeki pad gayi.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India A women ne pehle din hi dominance ka flag gaad diya hai. 351 runs on Day 1 in a 4-day match is a statement of intent. Aussies ko samajh aa gaya hoga ki Mohali ki garmi aur Indian batting ka pressure jhelna unke bas ki baat nahi. Niki Prasad ki unbeaten innings kal subah aur khatarnak ho sakti hai. Australia ko agar wapsi karni hai toh kuch extra-ordinary karna hoga, warna India A is match ko pehle do din mein hi seal kar degi. Unfiltered baat yeh hai ki talent aur temperament dono mein hamari ladkiyan Australia A se koso aage hain.
