Abu Dhabi ke maidan par ek baar phir wahi purani kahani dohrai gayi. Naam Pakistan Shaheens aur kaam bilkul zero. England Lions ke khilaaf pehle T20 match mein Pakistan ki team ne wahi kiya jo woh sabse behtar karte hain: Pressure mein bikhar jana. Asa Tribe ke unbeaten 64 runs ne dikha diya ki jab irade pakke hon toh target chota ho ya bada, jeet nishchit hai.
The Inner Story : Asli Maajra
Match ki shuruat se hi England Lions ne apne iraade saaf kar diye the. Pehle batting karne utri Pakistan Shaheens ki team 20 overs mein sirf 152 runs hi bana saki. Shamyl Hussain ne 57 runs ki baari zaroor kheli, lekin unke out hote hi Pakistan ka middle order kisi sasti diwaar ki tarah dher ho gaya. Lions ke spinners ne middle overs mein aisi kasrat ki ki Shaheens ke par kat gaye. James Coles, Dan Mousley, aur Nathan Sowter ne milkar batting lineup ko choke kar diya.
Jab chase ki baari aayi, toh Ben McKinney ne tabadtod shuruat ki. Sirf 13 balls mein 24 runs banakar unhone Pakistan ke bowlers ko backfoot par dhakel diya. Halaanki ek waqt par Lions 38 runs par 3 wickets gawa chuke the, lekin tab entry hui Jersey ke superstar Asa Tribe ki. Tribe ne na sirf innings ko sambhala balki 42 balls mein apni fifty poori kar ke match ko ek tarfa bana diya. Unka saath Scott Currie ne nibhaya aur dono ne milkar 19.1 overs mein hi target haasil kar liya.
Analysis & Numbers
- Asa Tribe ne 64* runs ki match-winning innings kheli jisme 6 chauke aur 1 chakka shamil tha.
- James Coles ne 4 overs mein sirf 20 runs dekar 2 bade wickets jhatke.
- Pakistan Shaheens ke opener Shamyl Hussain ne 57 runs banaye lekin unhe kisi aur batsman ka saath nahi mila.
- England Lions ne series mein 1-0 ki badhat bana li hai, ab agla muqabla Sunday ko hoga.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Pakistan ki team ka naam Shaheen rakhne se koi baaz nahi ban jata. Field par unki body language aur pressure handle karne ki kabliyat hamesha ki tarah questionable rahi. England Lions ne dikhaya ki discipline aur calm dimaag se kisi bhi situation se match nikala ja sakta hai. Agar Pakistan ko series mein bane rehna hai toh unhe "Consistency" shabd ka matlab samajhna hoga, warna Abu Dhabi ki garmi unhe thanda karne ke liye kaafi hai.
