Series Haar Kar Ijjat Bachane Nikli Team Pakistan: Fatima Sana Ka One-Woman Show South Africa Par Bhari Par Gaya
Dead rubber matches aur Pakistan ka purana rishta hai. Jab series haath se nikal jati hai, tabhi inka asli talent bahar aata hai. South Africa vs Pakistan ke teesre T20I mein bhi wahi dekhne ko mila. Fatima Sana ne bat aur ball dono se aag ugalte hue apni team ko ek Consolation Win dila di hai, halanki series par pehle hi Proteas ne kabza kar liya tha.
The Inner Story: Jab Pakistan Ka Middle Order Dhair Hua To Sana Ne Sambhala
Benoni ke maidan par jab toss hua, to Fatima Sana ne batting ka faisla kiya. Lekin Pakistan ki batting hamesha ki tarah uncertainty se bhari thi. Ek waqt par score 68 for 5 tha aur aisa lag raha tha ki shayad 100 tak pahunchna bhi mushkil hoga. Par yahan se shuru hua Fatima Sana ka Masterclass. Unhone Aliya Riaz ke saath milkar 70 runs ki partnership ki wo bhi sirf 45 balls mein.
Fatima Sana ne 30 balls mein 47 runs ki unbeaten innings kheli, jisme 4 chauke aur 2 lambe chhake shamil the. Aliya Riaz ne bhi 26 runs ka yogdan diya. Is fightback ki wajah se Pakistan 144 tak pahunchne mein kamyab raha. South Africa ke liye Nonkululeko Mlaba ne kafi kanjoosi se bowling ki, par baaki bowlers ne runs luta diye.
South Africa Ki Shambolic Chase Aur Sadia Iqbal Ka Kehar
145 runs ka target South Africa ke liye mushkil nahi hona chahiye tha, lekin Pakistan ki bowling ne unhe hila kar rakh diya. Powerplay khatam hote-hote South Africa ka top order pavilion laut chuka tha. Sadia Iqbal ne aisi firki ghumayi ki Proteas batters ke paas koi jawab nahi tha. Scoreboard par jab 30 runs the, tab tak 4 wicket gir chuke the.
Annerie Dercksen aur Nadine de Klerk ne koshish zaroor ki, lekin unki batting mein wo urgency nazar nahi aayi. 55 runs ki partnership ke liye unhone 65 balls waste kar diye, jisne match South Africa ke haath se nikal kar Pakistan ki jholi mein daal diya. Puri South African team sirf 91 runs par dher ho gayi.
Analysis & Numbers
- Fatima Sana: 47 runs unbeaten aur 2 wickets liye. Player of the Match aur Player of the Series ka award inhi ke naam raha.
- Sadia Iqbal: 3 wickets sirf 18 runs dekar, inhone South Africa ki batting line-up ki kamar tod di.
- Series Result: South Africa ne series 2-1 se jeeti, Pakistan ko mili sirf ek "Dil Jeetne Wali" consolation win.
- Marizanne Kapp: South Africa ki star player bimaari ki wajah se batting karne nahi aa saki, jo unki haar ki ek badi wajah bani.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Mubarak ho Pakistan! Ek baar phir aapne sabit kar diya ki jab series ka koi matlab nahi rehta, tab aap King ban jate ho. Fatima Sana ki tareef karni hogi, wo ladki akele poori team ka bhojh uthaye hue hai. Lekin South Africa ko itna halka lena bhi theek nahi, unhone series pehle hi pocket mein daal di thi, isliye shayad wo thode sust pad gaye. Marizanne Kapp ki gair-maujoodgi ka pura fayda Pakistan ne uthaya. Consolation win se ghar par ijjat to bach gayi, par trophies kab aayengi?
