Headingley ke maidan par ek aisa chamatkar hua jisne cricket fans ke hosh uda diye. Low scoring matches hamesha thriller hote hain, lekin jab ek team 21 par 5 wicket gawa de aur phir bhi match jeet jaye, toh usse sirf Masterclass hi kaha ja sakta hai. Somerset ne hara hua match Yorkshire ki mutthi se cheen liya, jabki Yorkshire ne jeeta hua match plate mein saja kar Somerset ko de diya.
The Guru Story
Match ki shuruat mein aisa laga ki Somerset ka boriya-bistar jaldi gol ho jayega. Hannah Rainey ne pehli hi ball par wicket lekar tabaahi shuru ki. Sirf 18 balls ke andar Somerset ka score 9 for 3 tha. Jess Woolston ne aate hi aag ugalni shuru ki aur score dekhte hi dekhte 21 par 5 ho gaya. Yahan se wapsi namumkin lag rahi thi.
Lekin tabhi Jasmine Westley aur Jess Hazell ne k मोर्चा sambhala. Dono ne milkar 66 runs ki partnership ki aur team ko 130 tak pahunchaya. Yorkshire ke bowlers ne achha kaam kiya tha, Sarah Glenn ne bhi 3 wickets chatkaye, lekin asli drama abhi baaki tha.
Target chota tha, sirf 131 runs. Yorkshire ki shuruat kharab rahi lekin Sterre Kalis aur Ami Campbell ne match ko control mein rakha. Jab Ami Campbell 35 runs banakar out hui, tab Yorkshire ko jeetne ke liye sirf 10 runs chahiye the. Lekin doston, yahan se jo hua woh kisi nightmare se kam nahi tha. Chloe Skelton aur Ellie Anderson ne aisi bowling ki ke Yorkshire ne apne aakhri 5 wickets sirf 4 runs ke andar gawa diye. Itna ganda collapse dekh kar toh Pakistan Cricket Team ke fans ko bhi sukoon mila hoga ki chalo koi toh humse bhi bura choke karta hai.
Analysis & Numbers

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Yeh match sikhata hai ki cricket mein jab tak aakhri ball na phenki jaye, haar nahi maanni chahiye. Somerset ne jazba dikhaya, wahi Yorkshire ne pressure mein ghutne tek diye. Aisa collapse professional cricket mein unacceptable hai. Yorkshire ne match hara nahi hai, balki thali mein paros kar Somerset ko gift kiya hai. Inhe thodi mental toughness ki zaroorat hai, varna aise chokes inki pehchan ban jayenge.
