Dubai ke maidan par ek baar phir Sri Lanka aur Bangladesh ki bhidant hone waali hai. Tournament mein ab tak dono hi teams ne apna dabdaba banaye rakha hai, lekin jab baat head-to-head records ki aati hai, toh Sri Lankan Lions ne Tigeresses ko hamesha backfoot par rakha hai. Aaj ka match decide karega ki kya Bangladesh history palat paayega ya Sri Lanka ka 13-3 wala record aur bhi khatarnaak ho jaayega.
The Guru Story
Dubai mein hue toss mein Sri Lanka ki captain Chamari Athapaththu ne baazi maari aur bina kisi hichkichahat ke pehle bowling karne ka faisla kiya. Chamari ka manna hai ki unke bowlers par unhe poora bharosa hai aur is tournament mein chasing teams ka record bhi kaafi behtar raha hai. Defending champions ne apni playing XI mein ek badlav kiya hai, jahan Vishmi Gunaratne ki wapsi hui hai aur Kawya Kavindi ko bahar baithna pada hai.
Doosri taraf, Bangladesh ki captain Nigar Sultana toss haarne ke baad bhi confident nazar aayi. Unhone kaha ki pehle batting milna unke batters ke liye khud ko express karne ka ek accha mauka hai. Bangladesh ne apni team mein do bade badlav kiye hain. Farjana Easmin aaj apna debut kar rahi hain, wahi Sultana Khatun ko bhi XI mein jagah mili hai. Rabeya Khan aur Sanjida Meghla ko is ahem match se bahar rakha gaya hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Sri Lanka ka Bangladesh ke khilaaf record kisi Masterclass se kam nahi hai: 16 matches mein se 13 baar Lankans ne jeet darj ki hai.
- Pichle 6 T20Is mein Bangladesh ko ek baar bhi jeet naseeb nahi hui hai, jisme is saal Sylhet mein hua clean sweep bhi shamil hai.
- Donon teams ne ab tak tournament mein Indonesia ko buri tarah haraya hai, lekin aaj asli test hoga kyunki opposition ka level upar hai.
- Dubai ki pitch par second innings mein batting karna thoda aasaan hota hai, jo toss jeetne waali Sri Lanka ke liye ek bada advantage hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Paper par aur momentum ke hisaab se Sri Lanka ka palda bhari hai. Bangladesh ko agar ye Dominance todni hai, toh unhe 140+ ka score board par lagana hoga. Debutant Farjana Easmin par nazrein rahengi, lekin Chamari Athapaththu ki captaincy aur unke bowling attack ko dekhte hue, ye match Sri Lanka ki mutthi mein zyada nazar aa raha hai. Bangladesh ko unit ki tarah click karna hi hoga, warna history phir se repeat hogi.
