WBBL season 10 mein Perth Scorchers ka vijay rath rukne ka naam nahi le raha hai. WACA Ground par khele gaye muqable mein Sydney Thunder ne pura zor lagaya, Heather Knight ne dhuaan-dhaar batting ki, par ant mein Perth ki depth ne baazi maar li. Bina captain Beth Mooney ke bhi Perth ne dikha diya ki unhe harana filhaal namumkin hai.
The Guru Story
Bat flip jeet kar pehle batting karne utri Sydney Thunder ki shuruat kisi nightmare se kam nahi thi. Sirf 18 runs par 2 wicket gir chuke the. Phir maidan par utra Heather Knight aur Anika Learoyd ka toofan. Dono ne milkar 128 runs ki monumental partnership ki. Heather Knight ne 46 balls mein 71 runs koot diye, wahi Learoyd ne bhi 53 runs ka yogdan diya. Thunder ne 159 runs ka decent target set kiya.
Chase ke waqt Perth Scorchers ki team ek samay 86/1 par cruise kar rahi thi. Sophie Devine (37) aur Katie Mack ne base set kar diya tha. Lekin cricket hai boss, twist toh aana hi tha! Nadine de Klerk ne Devine ko bowl kiya aur phir Jemma Barsby ne Mack ka wicket liya. Yahan se match fasa aur drama shuru hua.
Ab baat karte hain match ke "Masterclass Trolling Moment" ki. Pakistan ki star international Fatima Sana ne bowling mein toh 1/26 ka kifaayati spell dala, lekin jab batting mein team ko unki sakht zaroorat thi, tab unhone "Typical Pakistan Style" collapse dikhaya. Crunch situation mein Fatima Sana second-ball duck par pavilion laut gayin. Pressure mein haath-paanv phoolna shayad legacy ka hissa hai! Khair, Chloe Piparo aur Chloe Ainsworth ne apna composure banaye rakha aur 9 balls pehle hi match khatam kar diya.
Analysis & Numbers
- Perth Scorchers ki season mein ye lagatar paanchvi jeet hai, points table par top dominance barkrar.
- Heather Knight ne apni innings mein 12 boundaries lagayi, lekin support ki kami ki wajah se Thunder 160 tak hi pahunch saki.
- Fatima Sana (Pakistan) ka score 0(2), bowling 4 overs mein 1/26.
- Sydney Thunder ab 5 matches mein 3 haar ke saath mushkil mein dikh rahi hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Perth Scorchers ne dikha diya hai ki Champion teams individual brilliance par nahi, balki system par chalti hain. Beth Mooney ki absence mein bhi unhone ghabrahat nahi dikhayi. Sydney Thunder ne Knight ki wajah se fight back toh kiya, lekin pressure moments mein wo choke kar gaye. Aur Fatima Sana ka wo duck? Well, consistency in inconsistency is what we expect from that side of the border. Scorchers aur Sixers hi iss season ki asli contenders lag rahi hain.
