Sam Harper ka Double Dhamaka aur Scott Boland ki Raftaar: Victoria ne Western Australia ki nind udayi

WACA ke maidan par cricket ka asli power show dekhne ko mila hai. Jab ek batter form mein ho toh batting kitni aasaan lagti hai, yeh Sam Harper ne duniya ko dikha diya. Victoria ne match par apni pakad itni mazboot kar li hai ki ab Western Australia ke liye wapsi karna lagbhag namumkin lag raha hai. Pehle batting mein tabahi aur phir Scott Boland ki deadly bowling ne match ko ek tarfa bana diya hai.

The Inner Story : Asli Maajra

Is match ki sabse badi highlight rahe wicketkeeper-batter Sam Harper, jinhone is match mein back-to-back do rapid centuries thonk kar itihas rach diya. Pehli innings mein 109 balls par 119 runs banane ke baad, Harper ne dusri innings mein bhi apna raudra roop jaari rakha aur 156 balls par 141 runs banakar unbeaten rahe. Unki is batting ki badolat Victoria ne apni dusri innings 274 runs par declare ki, jisse Western Australia ko 467 runs ka pahad jaisa target mila.

Target ka picha karne utri Western Australia ki shuruat kisi nightmare se kam nahi thi. Ashes ke baad apna pehla match khel rahe Scott Boland ne aate hi apna kehar barpana shuru kar diya. Boland ne apne dusre hi over mein Sam Fanning ko chalta kiya aur uske baad Jayden Goodwin ka wicket lekar host team ki kamar tod di. Din ka khel khatam hone tak Western Australia ka score 26 par 2 wicket tha aur unhe jeetne ke liye abhi bhi 442 runs ki darkaar hai.

Isse pehle, subah ke session mein Sam Elliott ne apni bowling se mehfil loot li. Apne 26th birthday par Elliott ne 5 wickets lekar Western Australia ki pehli innings ko 238 runs par sametne mein bada role nibhaya. Victoria ne follow-on nahi dene ka faisla kiya aur Harper ki taabadtod batting ne is decision ko sahi sabit kar diya.
