Jab baat experience aur class ki aati hai, toh Tammy Beaumont ka naam sabse upar aata hai. Metro Bank One Day Cup mein The Blaze ne apna vijay rath jaari rakhte hue Somerset ko 6 wickets se dhool chata di hai. Maer Ground, Exmouth mein khele gaye is muqable mein The Blaze ne Somerset ke 222 runs ke target ko badi asaani se chase kar liya, aur is jeet ki sabse badi heroine rahi Beaumont aur Georgia Elwiss.
The Inner Story: Asli Maajra
Match ki shuruat mein The Blaze ki skipper Kirstie Gordon ne toss jeeta aur pehle bowling karne ka faisla kiya. Somerset ki shuruat kaafi thandi rahi aur unka top order 33 runs par hi dher ho gaya. Halanki, Australia A ki star Anika Learoyd ne ek end sambhale rakha aur 118 balls par 97 runs ki shandaar innings kheli. Woh apne century se mehaz 3 runs door reh gayi jab Kathryn Bryce ne unka brilliant return catch pakda. Somerset ne 50 overs mein 222 runs banaye, jo ek respectable total toh tha lekin The Blaze ke batting line-up ke liye kaafi nahi tha.
Chase karne utri The Blaze ki team ne shuruat mein thode jhatke jhele. Jab score 48 tha, tab tak do wickets gir chuke the. Lekin uske baad field par aaya Beaumont aur Elwiss ka toofan. Tammy Beaumont, jinhe England ki ODI series se nazarandaz kiya gaya hai, unhone apne bat se selectors ko karaara jawab diya. Unhone 109 balls par unbeaten 99 runs banaye. Dusre end se Georgia Elwiss ne bhi koi kasar nahi chhodi aur 72 runs ki tez-tarrar innings kheli. Dono ke beech hui 131 runs ki partnership ne match ko puri tarah Somerset se chheen liya.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
The Blaze ne dikha diya hai ki kyun woh is tournament ki sabse khatarnak team hain. Tammy Beaumont ka England team se drop hona thoda ajeeb hai, kyunki unka class aaj bhi unke bat se bol raha hai. 99 par unbeaten rehna thoda bad kismati hai, par team ki jeet zyada mayne rakhti hai. Somerset ko seekhna hoga ki sirf ek player ke dum par matches nahi jeete jaate. Pakistan ki team ki tarah Somerset bhi pressure moments mein bikhar rahi hai, 4 matches ki lagatar haar unke liye wake-up call honi chahiye. Blaze ka vijay rath ab rokna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin lag raha hai!
