Australian domestic circuit me aaj ek aisa muqabla dekhne ko mila jahan dominance ka doosra naam Victoria raha. Hobart ke maidan par Tasmania ki team bilkul be-bas nazar aayi. Pehle batting me Matthew Short aur Campbell Kellaway ne aag ugli, aur phir bowling me Mitch Perry ne wo keher dhaya ki Tasmania ki batting line-up taash ke patton ki tarah bikhar gayi. Rain-affected match me DLS method ke tehat Victoria ne 138 runs ki badi jeet ke saath bonus point bhi apni jeb me daal liya hai.
The Guru Story
Match ki shuruat Tasmania ke toss jeetne se hui, lekin unka bowling chunne ka faisla unhi par bhari pad gaya. Victoria ke openers ne powerhouse start di. Khaas karke Matthew Short, jo pichle kuch matches me ducks ki hat-trick laga kar dubaav me the, unhone selectors ko yaad dilaya ki unme dum abhi baaki hai. Matthew Short ne 91 balls me 70 runs ki behetreen innings kheli. Unka saath Thomas Rogers aur phir Campbell Kellaway ne bakhoobi nibhaya. Campbell Kellaway ki 69 runs ki pari ne dikhaya ki kyu unhe Australia ka future Test star maana ja raha hai.
Jab Tasmania batting karne utri, toh baarish ne khel me khalhal dala. Target 35 overs me 276 runs kar diya gaya. Lekin Mitch Perry ne toh jaise thaan li thi ki match jaldi khatam karna hai. Unhone apne shuruati spell me hi 40 runs par 4 wickets gira kar Tasmania ki kamar tod di. Sabki nazrein Tim David par thi, jo 2021 ke baad apna pehla List A match khel rahe the. World Cup recall ka sapna lekar utre Tim David sirf 13 runs banakar debutant Matt Hennig ka shikar ban gaye. Puri Tasmania ki team sirf 137 runs par dher ho gayi, jahan sirf Caleb Jewell 47 runs banakar nabaad rahe.
Analysis & Numbers
- Mitch Perry ne career-best bowling karte huye 6 overs me sirf 9 runs dekar 4 wicket chatkaye.
- Matthew Short ne apni pichli teen ducks ki bad-kismati ko khatam karte huye 70 runs banaye.
- Victoria ne total 304 runs banaye jo Hobart ki pitch par ek winning score sabit hua.
- Tasmania ki puri team 25.2 overs me hi surrender kar gayi.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Yeh match nahi, Victoria ka ek statement tha. Matthew Short ka form me lautna Australian white-ball setup ke liye badi khabar hai. Wahin Tim David ko agar ODI team me jagah chahiye, toh aise pressure situations me khada hona seekhna hoga. Mitch Perry ki bowling masterclass ne yeh saaf kar diya hai ki line aur length sahi ho toh bade se bada batter bhi be-bas ho jata hai. Tasmania ko apni strategy par kaam karne ki sakht zaroorat hai, varna unka safar mushkil hone wala hai.
