Yuvraj Samra ka Record Century gaya bekaar: Glenn Phillips aur Rachin Ravindra ne New Zealand ko dilayi Super Eight ki ticket

Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties, aur aaj Chennai ke maidan par yahi dekhne ko mila. Ek taraf 19 saal ka ek yuva khoon jisne ICC ke full members ki nind uda di, aur dusri taraf New Zealand ka wo experience jo pressure mein kabhi bikarta nahi balki nikharta hai. Canada ne ladai toh zabardast ki, par Blackcaps ki powerhouse batting ke aage unka har daav fail ho gaya. Yuvraj Samra ne itihaas toh racha, par Glenn Phillips aur Rachin Ravindra ki partnership ne Canada ka Super Eight ka sapna tod diya.

The Inner Story : Samra ka Toofaan aur New Zealand ka Clinical Chase

Match ki shuruat hui Canada ki batting se, aur kisne socha tha ki ek Associate nation ka batter New Zealand ke attack ko aise dhoyega. Yuvraj Samra ne batting ka masterclass dikhaya. Unhone sirf 65 balls mein 110 runs ki paari kheli, jo kisi bhi Associate batter dwara ICC T20 World Cup itihaas mein full member ke khilaaf sabse bada score hai. James Neesham ke ek hi over mein unhone 4, 4, 4, 6 maar kar bata diya ki wo yahan sirf khelne nahi, raj karne aaye hain. Canada ne 173 runs board par laga diye, jo ek upset ki boo de raha tha.

Lekin New Zealand ki team mein Santner nahi the kyunki unhe ek dodgy burger ne bimar kar diya tha, aur Ferguson ghar gaye hue the. Inki gair-maujudgi mein bowling thodi toothless dikhi, par batting mein Glenn Phillips aur Rachin Ravindra ne zimmedari uthayi. Jab Tim Seifert aur Finn Allen jaldi out huye, tab laga ki shayad Canada koi chamatkar kar degi. Magar Phillips (76*) aur Ravindra (59*) ne 146 runs ki unbeaten partnership karke match ko ek-tarfa bana diya. New Zealand ne ye target 4.5 overs pehle hi chase kar liya aur garv se Super Eight mein entry maari.

Analysis & Numbers

  • Yuvraj Samra (110 off 65) became the youngest player (19 years, 141 days) to score a fifty in Men's T20 World Cup history.
  • Glenn Phillips smashed 76* off just 36 balls with a strike rate of over 211, proving why he is a T20 beast.
  • The 146-run stand between Phillips and Rachin Ravindra is one of the most dominant partnerships for New Zealand in World Cup history.
  • Canada's fielders dropped Samra's wicket-taker James Neesham earlier and let the game slip with poor execution in the middle overs.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:

Honestly, Canada ne jo jazba dikhaya hai, usse Pakistan jaise teams ko sikhna chahiye. 19 saal ka bachcha Yuvraj Samra century maar raha hai aur yahan Pakistan ke senior players strike rate ke liye struggle kar rahe hain. New Zealand lucky rahi ki unke paas Phillips aur Ravindra jaise match-winners hain, varna Canada ne unhe backfoot par dhakel hi diya tha. Associate teams are no longer pushovers. New Zealand is through, but unka bowling depth bina Ferguson aur Santner ke tension ka vishay hai.
