Jab cricket ki baat aati hai toh ek taraf hoti hai Australia ki world-class professional team, aur dusri taraf hota hai Pakistan, jinke liye 'unpredictable' word bhi chhota pad jata hai. Leeds ke maidan par wahi hua jiski sabko umeed thi. Ellyse Perry ne dikhaya ki class kya hoti hai, jabki Pakistan ne ek baar phir sabit kiya ki fielding aur running between the wickets unke syllabus mein hi nahi hai. 199 runs ke target ka peecha karne utri Pakistan ki team 86 runs par dher ho gayi. Yeh match nahi, balki ek Masterclass thi jo batati hai ki kyun Australia iss sport par raj karti hai.
The Guru Story
Match ki shuruat mein Pakistan ne thoda 'Pep' dikhaya jab Gull Feroza ne ek stunning catch pakad kar Beth Mooney ko pehli hi ball par pavilion bhej diya. Lekin padosiyo ki yeh khushi bilkul waise hi thi jaise unka 'Kudarat ka Nizam' : pal bhar ki. Iske baad shuru hua Ellyse Perry ka show. Perry ne 48 balls mein 71 runs ki aisi innings kheli jisne Pakistan ke bowling attack ki dhajjiya uda di. Georgia Voll ke saath milkar unhone century partnership ki aur score ko 199 tak pahuncha diya.
Lekin kahani yahan khatam nahi hoti. Beth Mooney, jinhone batting mein duck banaya tha, fielding ke waqt asli Bulletproof player bankar ubhri. Unka ungli (finger) do baar dislocate hui, medical staff ne wahi ground par use set kiya, aur woh phir se gloves pehen kar khadi ho gayi. Commitment ho toh aisa! Dusri taraf Pakistan ke batters ne wicket par aane aur jaane ki aisi jaldi dikhayi jaise unhe Leeds ke kisi buffet mein late ho raha ho. Muneeba Ali ne apne hi partners ko run-out karwane ka zimma uthaya aur Pakistan ki innings kisi comedy circus se kam nahi rahi.

- Pakistan ka collapse: Puri team 20 overs bhi nahi khel saki aur 13.4 overs mein 86 runs par simat gayi.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Truth be told, Australia vs Pakistan ka matchup kabhi contest tha hi nahi. Yeh ek training session jaisa tha jahan Australia ne bas yeh check kiya ki unki bench strength kitni taiyar hai. Pakistan ki team ko basic running between the wickets aur pressure handling par kaam karne ki zaroorat hai. Agar aap 113 runs se harte ho, toh sawal strategy par nahi, balki intent par uthte hain. Ellyse Perry is getting better with age, aur Pakistan is staying consistent with their inconsistency. Professionalism aur Gully Cricket ke beech ka antar Leeds mein saaf dikh gaya.
