Sanju Samson: Iss World Cup ka Asli Hero
Agar iss World Cup ka ek chehra choose karna ho, toh woh naam hoga — Sanju Samson.
Samson ne 89 runs banaye 46 balls mein, jismein 5 chaukey aur 8 chakkein shamil the. Woh T20 World Cup mein teen baar 80-plus score karne wale sirf doosre batsman bane, pehle Mahela Jayawardene ne 2010 mein yeh karnaama kiya tha.
Samson ka 14th over mein Rachin Ravindra ke against teen consecutive sixes lagaana iss match ka ek iconic moment tha — woh pure form mein the aur lagbhag century touch kar rahe the.
Samson is tournament mein 24 sixes laga chuke hain — ek single World Cup mein kisi bhi player dwara sabse zyada. Puri innings mein woh spectators ke liye entertainment ka bhandaar the.
Samson ka dismissal? James Neesham ki high full toss par woh down the ground try kiye, lekin timing off rahi aur long-on ne excellent catch liya. Samson standing ovation ke saath pavilion laute — kyunki is innings ki value sirf numbers mein nahin thi.
Powerplay Blast: 92/0 — Joint Highest in T20 WC History!
Samson aur Abhishek Sharma ne pehle 6 overs mein 92 runs bana diye — yeh is World Cup ka sabse bada powerplay score tha aur T20 World Cup history ka joint-highest bhi.
Abhishek Sharma ne sirf 18 balls mein half-century poori ki — yeh is poore tournament ka fastest fifty tha aur kisi bhi World Cup knockout match ka bhi.
New Zealand ne powerplay mein 8 extra deliveries bowl kiye — T20I cricket mein unka sabse zyada extras in a single powerplay.
Match ka Turning Point: Neesham ka Triple-Wicket Over!
Jab India 203/2 par thi aur 280-300 ka sapna dikhne laga tha, tab James Neesham ne wo over dala jo match ki kahaani palat sakta hai.
Neesham ke ek over mein India 203/2 se 204/4 ho gayi. Samson pehli ball par out hue, Kishan 5th ball par, aur Suryakumar Yadav last ball par — Rachin Ravindra ne SKY ka ek superhuman catch liya deep backward square leg par.
Neesham ne aakhir mein 3 wickets liye, haalaanki unki economy rate 11.50 rahi.
Yahi tha match ka real turning point — lekin India ne haar nahin maani.
Shivam Dube ka Clutch Finish: 24 Runs in Last Over!
Jab India dbaav mein thi aur 250 bhi door lag raha tha, tab aaya Shivam Dube — finisher ka kaam finisher ki tarah kiya.
Neesham ke last over mein Dube ne 24 runs thoke — 3 chaukey aur 2 chakkein — aur India ko 250 ke paar pohancha diya.
Kul milaakar India ne 19 fours aur 18 sixes lagaye, boundary se 184 runs kamaye.
New Zealand ka Chase: Kya Possible Hai 256?
Ab sabse badi baat — New Zealand ka innings abhi shuru hua hai. Openers Finn Allen aur Tim Seifert crease par aa chuke hain.
New Zealand ko jeetne ke liye 256 runs chahiye — yeh woh target hai jo 2019 ODI World Cup Final mein England ko New Zealand ne diya tha.
Finn Allen ne recently India ke against bilateral series mein 38-ball 80 ki innings khelti thi 272 ke chase mein — toh woh dangerous opener hain.
Required Run Rate: 12.8 runs per over — clearly ek bada challenge. Lekin cricket mein kuch bhi ho sakta hai.
Key Players to Watch in NZ Chase:
- Finn Allen — powerplay blaster, India ke bowlers ke liye threat
- Rachin Ravindra — consistent run scorer
- Daryl Mitchell — Bumrah ke against 10.18 runs/over ka record
- Glenn Phillips — middle-order anchor
