Blackpool ke maidan par cricket ka asli drama dekhne ko mila. Jab match aakhri ball tak jaye aur natija sirf ek run se decide ho, to samajh lijiye ki paisa vasool performance hui hai. Warwickshire Bears Women ne wo kar dikhaya jo namumkin lag raha tha, aur Lancashire Thunder ke haath se jeet cheen li.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Match ki shuruat se hi intensity high thi. Warwickshire Bears ki batting shuru hui to wickets girne ka silsila jaldi shuru ho gaya. Abigail Freeborn sirf 8 runs banakar chalti bani. Lekin uske baad jo hua, usne Lancashire Thunder ke hosh uda diye. Natasha Wraith ne crease par aate hi tabahi macha di. Unhone bowlers ki aisi dhulayi ki jaise Sunday ka bazaar laga ho. Darcy Carter ke do overs mein 27 runs loot liye gaye.
Natasha Wraith ne sirf 28 balls mein apni half-century poori ki aur total 83 runs ki aatishi innings kheli. Unke 10 chauke aur 2 lambe-lambe chhakkon ne crowd ko jhumne par majbur kar diya. Halanki, Sophie Morris aur Vinali Weerappuli ne 3-3 wickets lekar Warwickshire Bears ko 160 runs par roka, lekin Wraith ka damage ho chuka tha.
Chase karne utri Lancashire Thunder ki shuruat kharab rahi. Eve Jones zero par out hui aur Australia ki powerhouse Meg Lanning bhi sirf 10 runs banakar pavilion laut gayi. Phir Tilly Kesteven ne kamaan sambhali. Unki 73 runs ki innings ne match ko Thunder ki mutthi mein kar diya tha. Ek waqt par lag raha tha ki Lancashire aaram se jeet jayegi kyunki unhe aakhri kuch overs mein sirf 13 runs chahiye the.
Lekin asli drama aakhri over mein bacha tha. Mary Taylor ne aakhri over mein apni nerves ko control mein rakha. Lancashire ko aakhri ball par 3 runs chahiye the, lekin wo fail ho gaye. Do wickets gire aur Warwickshire Bears ne 1 run se match apne naam kar liya.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Yeh match sikhata hai ki cricket mein jab tak aakhri ball na feki jaye, jashn nahi manana chahiye. Lancashire Thunder ne jeeta hua match plate mein rakh kar Warwickshire Bears ko de diya. Tilly Kesteven ki mehnat par baaki team ne paani pher diya. Wraith ki innings ek pure Masterclass thi, jisne dikha diya ki pressure kaise handle kiya jata hai. Agar aap aakhri over mein 13 runs nahi bana sakte, to aap jeet deserve nahi karte. Warwickshire Bears ne heart dikhaya, aur wahi unki jeet ka karan bana.
