Afghanistan ka Sharjah mein Dhamaka: Zimbabwe ko hara kar series mein banayi mazboot pakad

Sharjah ki garmi aur usse bhi zyada tez Afghanistan ke players ka aggression! UAE mein khele ja rahe pehle T20I mein Afghanistan ne Zimbabwe ko buri tarah dhool chatai. 37 runs ki badi jeet ke saath Blue Tigers ne series mein 1-0 ki badhat le li hai. Match ke shuruat se lekar end tak, fans ko har pal excitement milti rahi aur Sharjah ka maidan Afghanistan ke jashn se goonj utha.

Afghanistan ka mushkil start aur Ijaz ka tufaan

Match ki shuruat dekh kar lag raha tha ki Afghanistan ki innings puri tarah collapse ho jayegi. Powerplay ke andar hi unke teen bade wickets gir chuke the aur score sirf 31 run tha. Ek waqt aisa laga ki Zimbabwe ke bowlers match apne kabze mein le lenge aur Afghanistan ki batting line-up toot kar bikhar jayegi. Lekin cricket mein kuch bhi ho sakta hai, ye Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai ne sabit kar diya. Jab team sabse zyada pressure mein thi, tab Ijaz ne maidan par aakar aag laga di. Unhone sirf 20 balls mein 51 runs ki dhamakedaar innings kheli. Unke bat se 4 chauke aur 4 bade chakke nikle, jisne Zimbabwe ke bowlers ki halat kharab kar di aur momentum ko turant Afghanistan ke favour mein mod diya.

Middle order ka support aur Rashid Khan ka finisher role

Ijaz ko dusri taraf se Shahidullah Kamal ka behtareen support mila. Kamal ne 42 balls mein 46 runs banaye aur innings ko woh stability di jo team ko us waqt chahiye thi. Dono ke beech 50 runs ki ek bahut hi fast partnership hui, jo sirf 24 balls mein puri ho gayi. Is partnership ne Afghanistan ko woh platform diya jiske bina recovery mushkil thi. Jab team 100 runs ke mark ko 14.1 overs mein cross kar gayi, tab bowlers ke darr se zyada batters ke runs ka darr lagne laga tha. Iske baad Rashid Khan ne maidan par aakar apna jalwa dikhaya. Rashid ne sirf 10 balls mein 30 runs thok diye, jisme 4 chhakkon ka tadka laga. Unki is chhoti lekin explosive batting ki wajah se Afghanistan 19.5 overs mein 177 runs tak pahunch gaya, jo Zimbabwe ke liye ek bahut bada target tha.

Zimbabwe ki batting ka collapse aur bowling dominance

178 runs ka target chase karne utri Zimbabwe ki team ne ek achhi shuruat ki thi. Powerplay ke khatam hone tak unka score 38/1 tha aur aisa lag raha tha ki wo is target ke kareeb pahunch jayenge. Lekin Afghanistan ke bowlers ne beech ke overs mein aisi pressure build ki ki Zimbabwe ke batters chakkar kha gaye. Middle overs mein jaise hi wickets girne shuru hue, Zimbabwe ki batting line-up kaanch ki tarah toot gayi. 9.3 overs tak unka score 56/3 ho chuka tha. Sharjah ki pitch par spinners ko kaafi madad mil rahi thi, jiska fayda Afghanistan ke bowlers ne uthaya. Rashid Khan ne bowling mein bhi apna dum dikhaya aur 2 wickets lekar Zimbabwe ki kamar tod di. Akhirkar, Zimbabwe ki puri team 19.1 overs mein 140 runs par hi all out ho gayi. Is jeet ne Afghanistan ko series mein bahut mazboot position mein la khada kiya hai.
