Starc six-fer headlines seesaw opening day of third Test between South Africa and Australia

Cape Town Test: Mitchell Starc ka Toofan aur South Africa ki Tabahi

Cape Town ke maidan par aaj cricket ka ek asli rollercoaster ride dekhne ko mila. South Africa aur Australia ke beech teesre Test ka pehla din kisi film ki script jaisa tha. Ek taraf South Africa ke batters ne Australia ki bowling ki dhajjiya udayi, toh doosri taraf Mitchell Starc ne apne jaadu se pura game palat diya. Aaj ka din dekhte hi dekhte swings aur turns ka mishran ban gaya, jahan har ghante match ki situation badal rahi thi.

South Africa ka Dhamakedar Start aur Ackermann ka Jalwa

Match ki shuruat hui Pat Cummins ke toss jeetne aur bowling chunne ke saath. Cummins ko laga tha ki pitch par moisture hoga, lekin dry winter ki wajah se pitch kafi hard aur batter-friendly nazar aa rahi thi. South Africa ke openers ne is mauke ko bilkul bhi jaane nahi diya. Marques Ackermann, jo apna sirf doosra Test khel rahe hain, unhone toh maano aag laga di. Lunch tak unhone 82 runs bana liye the, jo kisi bhi South African batter dwara opening session mein banaya gaya sabse bada score hai.

Unka saath de rahe the Aiden Markram, jo Pat Cummins aur Josh Hazlewood par bade shots khel rahe the. In dono ne milkar pehle session mein hi 140 runs thok diye aur run rate 5.18 tak pahunch gaya. Ackermann ne Nathan Lyon ko charge kiya aur unhe boundaries ki baarish kar di. South Africa ne 42 innings ke baad pehli baar 100 runs ki opening partnership kar dikhayi. Aisa lag raha tha ki Australia ko aaj bahut bhari padne wala hai.

Australia ke Badlav aur Match ka Palatna

Australia ne is match ke liye apni team mein 4 bade badlav kiye. Steve Smith neck injury ki wajah se bahar the, jiski wajah se Nathan Lyon, Cooper Connolly, Cam Green aur Josh Inglis ko XI mein jagah mili. Lekin shuruati session mein Australia ko koi jawab nahi mil raha tha. Jab Ackermann 95 runs par stumping ho gaye, tabhi se game mein thoda badlav aane laga. Aiden Markram bhi 78 runs ke baad Josh Hazlewood ki ek short ball par out ho gaye. Uske baad Temba Bavuma ko bhi Nathan Lyon ne apni spin ka shikar banaya.

South Africa ki team 158/0 se girkar 232/6 tak pahunch gayi. David Bedingham ne kafi himmat dikhayi aur ek mazboot 50 banaya, lekin Australia ki bowling ab dheere dheere grip karne lagi thi. Jab tak Ryan Rickelton aur Marco Jansen ne innings ko sambhalne ki koshish ki, tab tak pehla naya ball khatam ho chuka tha.

Mitchell Starc ka Magic aur Final Collapse

Asli drama tab shuru hua jab Mitchell Starc ke haath mein doosra naya ball aaya. Starc ne apni purani khatarnak form dikhayi aur full-length swinging deliveries se South African batters ko confuse kar diya. Unhone sirf do overs mein 4 wickets cheen liye. Rickelton aur Jansen dono hi unki swing ka samna nahi kar paaye.

Sabse hairan karne wali baat yeh thi ki South Africa ke aakhri 4 wickets sirf 2 runs ke andar gir gaye. Kagiso Rabada aur Glenton Coetzee jaise bade players bhi Starc ke samne bebas nazar aaye. Mitchell Starc ne apna teesra five-wicket haul liya aur Australia ko is match mein ek bahut badi advantage dila di. Aaj ka din dekhte hi dekhte ek taraf se doosri taraf palat gaya, aur ab lag raha hai ki Australia ka palda bhari hai.
