Defending Champions ke tevar hamesha alag hote hain! Asian Games ke quarter-final mein Team India ne Japan ko aisi shikast di hai jo unhe muddaton tak yaad rahegi. Ye match kam aur Team India ka ek Masterclass zyada tha. Nisshin ke maidan par hamari betiyon ne dikha diya ki Gold Medal par sirf hamara hi adhikaar hai. 58 runs ka target? Wo to hamari Shafali Verma ne nashte mein hi khatam kar diya!
To Hua esa hai ki:
Khel shuru hua to India ne toss jeet kar pehle fielding ka faisla kiya. Pitch par turn aur bounce dekh kar hamari spinners ne Japan ki batters ko naach nachana shuru kar diya. Shree Charani ne wahi se shuru kiya jahan Women's T20 Asia Cup final mein choda tha. Unhone 4 overs mein sirf 10 runs dekar 4 wickets jhatke. Unka spell itna khatarnak tha ki Japan ki team 20 overs tak tikne ki koshish to karti rahi, lekin 19.5 overs mein 57 runs par hi dher ho gayi.
Ek waqt par Japan ka score 24 for 0 tha, lekin phir India ka bowling attack haavi ho gaya. Shafali Verma ne 2 wickets liye aur Deepti Sharma ne 1 wicket. Sabse badi khushi ki baat ye thi ki Shreyanka Patil ne injury ke baad shandaar wapsi ki aur unhe bhi 1 wicket mila. Japan ne apne aakhri 8 wickets mahaj 33 runs ke andar gawa diye.
Target chhota tha, lekin Shafali Verma ke irade bahut bade the. Unhone pehle hi over mein 4 chauke jadkar Japan ke hosh uda diye. Haalaanki G Kamalini aur Bharti Fulmali saste mein out ho gayi, lekin Shafali Verma ne 15 balls mein 40 runs ki aisi toofani innings kheli ki match 5 overs mein hi khatam ho gaya. Unka strike rate 266.66 ka tha, jo unki Dominance ko bayan karta hai.
Analysis & Numbers:
- Shree Charani ka magic: 4 overs, 10 runs, 4 wickets.
- Shafali Verma ki tabaahi: 15 balls, 40 runs not out, 6 fours, 2 sixes.
- Japan ka collapse: Last 8 wickets lost for just 33 runs.
- Speed of Victory: India chased the target with 15 overs to spare.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Seedhi baat hai: Level ka fark hai boss! Japan ne koshish zaroor ki, lekin Team India ke saamne wo bacche nazar aaye. Shafali Verma jab mood mein hoti hain to koi bhi target bada nahi hota. Ab agla padaav Bangladesh hai. September 20 ko semi-final hai aur jis tarah ki form mein hamari betiyan hain, Bangladesh ko bhi paseene chhutne wale hain. Gold Medal ki Prophecy sach hoti dikh rahi hai.
