England ke domestic T20 circuit yaani Vitality Blast mein ek aisa thriller dekhne ko mila jisne fans ki dhadkne badha di. Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan ke beech Severnside derby ka ye muqabla kisi masala Bollywood film se kam nahi tha. Aakhri over, 15 runs ki darkaar, aur samne khade tail-end batsmen. Aisa lag raha tha maano match haath se nikal gaya hai, lekin Matt Taylor ke dimaag aur thode se luck ne poora paasa palat diya.
The Inner Story: Asli Maajra
Match ki shuruat Glamorgan ke liye kisi nightmare se kam nahi thi. Duan Jansen ne aate hi tabaahi machayi aur Glamorgan ka top order taash ke patton ki tarah bिखर gaya. Sirf 45 runs par 5 wicket gir chuke the. Tab entry hui debutant Henry Hurle ki. Is 21 saal ke ladke ne bekhauf batting karte hue 46 runs thoke, jisme 4 bade sixes shaamil the. Unki badaulat Glamorgan ne 157 runs ka samman-janak score khada kiya.
Chase shuru hui toh Gloucestershire ki halat aur bhi patli ho gayi. Scorecard par jab 7 runs the, tab tak 3 top-order batsmen pavilion laut chuke the. Yahan se Miles Hammond ne मोर्चा sambhala. Hammond ne 31 balls mein 56 runs ki firebrand innings kheli. Lekin match mein twist tab aaya jab James Bracey ek ajeeb tarah se out hue. Ball unke stumps ki taraf ja rahi thi aur unhone use football ki tarah kick karke hatane ki koshish ki, lekin ball hatne ke bajaye bail gir gayi. Is clumsy dismissal ke baad match fassa hua lag raha tha.
Aakhri over mein 15 runs chahiye the. Kamran Dhariwal ne samjhdari dikhayi aur strike Matt Taylor ko di. Last ball par boundary ki zaroorat thi aur Matt Taylor ke bat ka edge lagkar ball seema rekha ke bahar chali gayi. Gloucestershire ne 2 wickets se ye match apne naam kar liya.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Ye match dikhata hai ki cricket mein jab tak aakhri ball na feki jaye, tab tak haar mat maano. Gloucestershire ne apni gutsy approach se ye jeet chhini hai. Waise, agar yahan Pakistan ki team hoti, toh shayad 157 chase karte waqt pressure mein 100 runs par hi dher ho jati. T20 cricket nerves ka game hai aur aaj Matt Taylor ne dikhaya ki dimaag thanda rakho toh naseeb bhi saath deta hai.
