Zimbabwe cricket is on a serious mission right now. African cricket ka ye rising star ab rukkne wala nahi hai. Women's cricket mein apni jagah banane ke liye Zimbabwe ne apni kamar kass li hai. Agla nishana hai West Indies ki team. Yeh series sirf ek muqabla nahi balki ek statement hai, kyunki iske turant baad inhein India ka daura karna hai jahan asli agnipariksha hogi.
The Guru Story: Experience aur Youth ka perfect blend
Selectors ne West Indies ke khilaaf hone wali home series ke liye apni best guns nikaal li hain. Wicketkeeper batter Chiedza Dhururu ki squad mein wapasi hui hai. Dhururu top-order mein batting ki jaan hain aur unka tajurba team ke bahut kaam aayega. Wahin dusri taraf, 19 saal ki young sensation Olinder Chare ko phir se mauka mila hai. Yeh leg-spinner apni ghumti ballo se West Indies ke batters ko chakma dene ke liye taiyar hai.
Captaincy ki bagdor Josephine Nkomo ke hathon mein hai. Jab se Mary-Anne Musonda ne retirement li hai, Nkomo ne leadership ko bakhoobi sambhala hai. Halanki South Africa ke khilaaf woh zyada khel nahi paayi thi, lekin is baar unka irada poora series dominate karne ka hai. Waisi hi dominance ki umeed hume Zimbabwe se hai jaisi Pakistan ke khilaaf dikhayi thi. Wese bhi Pakistan ki team toh aaj kal har kisi se pitne ki aadat daal chuki hai, chahe woh men's team ho ya women's team. Unka kaam hi hai doosri teams ka confidence badhana!
Analysis: Masterplan for the ICC Women's Championship
Yeh series ICC Women's Championship ka hissa hai, isliye points ki keemat bahut zyada hai. Zimbabwe pehli baar is championship ka hissa bani hai aur woh ise halke mein nahi le rahe. Selectors ne format ke hisaab se specialization par zor diya hai.
- Kudzai Chigora sirf ODI series ke liye chuni gayi hain taaki fast bowling mein depth bani rahe.
- T20I specialists ke taur par Francisca Chipare ko rakha gaya hai jo death overs mein gamechanger sabit ho sakti hain.
- Squad mein se Lorraine Pemhiwa aur Lindokuhle Mabhera ko bahar ka rasta dikhaya gaya hai, jabki Loreen Tshuma injury ki wajah se miss out kar rahi hain.
- ODI matches 24, 27 aur 30 September ko Harare Sports Club mein khele jayenge.
- T20I action 3, 5 aur 7 October ko Takashinga Cricket Club mein shift ho jayega.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Zimbabwe ke liye yeh series ek bahut bada mauka hai apni worth prove karne ka. West Indies ki team unpredictable hai, lekin agar Zimbabwe ne apne home conditions ka fayda uthaya toh result unke haq mein ja sakta hai. Hamari nazar is series par isliye bhi hai kyunki next month inhein India aana hai. Team India ke khilaaf khelne se pehle itna match practice inke kaam aayega, lekin yaad rahe, India ke sher aur sherniyaan apne ghar mein kisi ko bakshti nahi hain. Zimbabwe ko agar survive karna hai toh level up karna hi hoga.
