Cricket ki duniya mein jab bade surma girte hain, toh shor door tak jata hai. Lekin Australia ke saath jo hua hai, usne poore cricketing world ko shock mein daal diya hai. Kisi ne sapne mein bhi nahi socha tha ki World Cup ki sabse khatarnak team maani jaane wali Aussie paltan ka boriya-bistar itni jaldi gol ho jayega. Zimbabwe aur Sri Lanka se pittne ke baad, ab halat ye hai ki unhe Oman ke khilaaf apna aakhri match khelna pad raha hai, wo bhi sirf apni bachi-kuchi izzat bachane ke liye.
Asli Maajra: T20 World Cup ka sabse bada Upset
Ye match pehle ek practice session ya tune-up game ki tarah dekha ja raha tha, lekin ab ye Australia ke liye ek nightmare ban chuka hai. 2009 ke baad pehli baar aisa hua hai ki Kangaroos group stage se hi bahar ho gaye hain. Australia mein log AFL aur NRL seasons mein busy thay, lekin is sharmnaak haar ne unhe neend se jaga diya hai. Mitchell Marsh ki captaincy aur team management ki selection policies par sawaal uthne lage hain. Injuries aur kharab form ne rahi-sahi kasar poori kar di hai.
Sabse zyada chinta ki baat Adam Zampa ka form hai. Australia ka ye talismanic spinner picche do matches se wicketless raha hai. Sri Lanka ke khilaaf unki bowling mein wo purani dhaar gayab thi. Wahi dusri taraf, Glenn Maxwell aur Marcus Stoinis ke liye shayad ye international career ka aakhri T20 match ho sakta hai. Kya ye veterans ek winning note par vida le payenge ya Oman koi naya ulat-fer kar degi?
Analysis & Numbers
- Adam Zampa ne picche 8 overs mein 72 runs diye hain aur ek bhi wicket nahi mila, jo unke stature ke hisaab se kaafi kharab hai.
- Glenn Maxwell ko 3000 T20I runs poore karne ke liye sirf 103 runs ki zaroorat hai, lekin unka current form unhe yahan tak pahunchne dega ya nahi, ye bada sawal hai.
- Australia ka record Associate nations ke khilaaf 8-0 ka hai, lekin Oman ne pichli baar unhe kadi takkar di thi.
- Jatinder Singh, jo Oman ke leading scorer hain, wo bhi is tournament mein 5, 1 aur 7 ke score ke saath struggle kar rahe hain.
- Matt Renshaw ki team mein wapsi tay mani ja rahi hai, unhe Cameron Green ya Maxwell ki jagah mauka mil sakta hai.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Dekhiye, on paper Australia abhi bhi Oman se bahut aage hai, lekin cricket paper par nahi ground par khela jata hai. Agar Australia ye match bhi haar gayi, toh ye Australian cricket history ka sabse kala din hoga. Oman ke paas khone ko kuch nahi hai, lekin paane ko poori duniya hai. Humara prediction ye hai ki Australia gusse mein wapsi karegi, lekin unke World Cup disaster ka zakhm itni jaldi nahi bharne wala. Unhe ab introspection ki zaroorat hai, na ki sirf matches ki.
