Ibrahim Zadran ka Toofani 95 aur Mohammad Nabi ki Phirki ne Canada ko kiya Chitti, Afghanistan ki Shandaar Vidaayi

T20 World Cup 2024 mein Afghanistan ne dikha diya hai ki kyun unhe ab "Underdogs" kehna galat hoga. Group D ke apne aakhri muqable mein Afghan Atalan ne Canada ki aisi dhulayi ki hai jo Saint Lucia ke maidan par lambe samay tak yaad rakhi jayegi. Ibrahim Zadran ki behtareen batting aur Mohammad Nabi ki kaatilana bowling ke dam par Afghanistan ne 82 runs ki badi jeet darj ki. Ye jeet isliye bhi khaas thi kyunki ye coach Jonathan Trott ke tenure ka aakhri match tha aur ladko ne unhe perfect farewell gift diya hai.

The Inner Story : Zadran ka Masterclass aur Canada ki Ghalatiyan

Match ki shuruaat mein Canada ke skipper Dilpreet Bajwa ne toss jeeta aur bowling ka faisla kiya, socha tha ki dew factor kaam aayega. Lekin unhe kya pata tha ki Ibrahim Zadran aaj alag hi mood mein aaye hain. Rahmanullah Gurbaz ko early life mili lekin wo 30 runs banakar Jaskaran Singh ka shikaar bane. Canada ki fielding bilkul Pakistan ke level ki thakeli nazar aayi, jahan do drops ne unhe 62 runs ka nuksan karwaya.

Ibrahim Zadran ne innings ko ek end se sambhala aur phir accelerate kiya. Unhone 95 runs ki unbeaten innings kheli, jo unka T20I career best score hai. Unka saath nibhaya Sediqullah Atal ne, jinhone 44 runs ki solid paari kheli. Result ye raha ki Afghanistan ne 200 runs ka pahad khada kar diya, jo is T20 World Cup mein unka highest score hai. Canada ke liye 201 ka target kisi Himalaya chadhne se kam nahi tha.

Chase shuru hui toh Canada ke batters pressure jhel hi nahi paaye. Navneet Dhaliwal apne retirement match mein duck par out ho gaye, aur Yuvraj Samra bhi 17 runs se aage nahi badh sake. Phir shuru hua "The President" Mohammad Nabi ka show. Nabi ne apni off-spin se Canada ki kamar tod di. Sirf 7 runs dekar 4 wickets jhatakna koi mamuli baat nahi hai. Harsh Thaker aur Saad Bin Zafar ne thodi koshish zaroor ki, lekin wo sirf haar ka antar kam kar paaye, jeet toh Afghanistan ke naseeb mein pehle hi likhi ja chuki thi.

Analysis & Numbers

  • Ibrahim Zadran: 95* runs off 62 balls, unka T20I mein sabse bada score.
  • Mohammad Nabi: 4 overs, 7 runs, 4 wickets. Career best figures for the veteran.
  • Afghanistan Total: 200/4 is their highest team score in T20 World Cup history.
  • Fielding Blunders: Canada dropped two crucial catches of Zadran and Gurbaz, costing them 62 extra runs.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:

Afghanistan ki ye performance dikhati hai ki unka graph kitni tezi se upar ja raha hai. Ibrahim Zadran ki maturity aur Mohammad Nabi ki consistency kisi bhi top tier team ke liye khatre ki ghanti hai. Canada ne fielding mein jo rayta phailaya, uska anjam yahi hona tha. Jahan ek taraf badi teams like Pakistan group stage mein struggle karti reh gayi, wahan Afghanistan ne apna dominance stamp kar diya hai. Jonathan Trott ne ek aisi team chhodi hai jo future mein kisi bhi badi team ko dhul chatane ka dum rakhti hai. Unfiltered dominance at its best!
