Haan, Teesra Super Over? Sach mein?
Toh yeh hai cricket ka naya tamasha! Netherlands aur Nepal ke beech Scotland T20 Tri-Series 2025 mein ek aisa match hua ki sabke hosh udd gaye. Teesra Super Over? Haan bhai, teesra! Aisa pehle kabhi nahi dekha gaya, na T20 mein, na List A mein. Yeh toh wahi baat hai jab 2019 World Cup final mein England aur New Zealand ke beech ek Super Over ne dil thama tha, lekin usse bhi aage nikal gaya yeh match. Nepal, ek chhoti si team, jise aksar bade log nazarandaaz kar dete hain, ne Netherlands jaise majboot team ko itna sataya ki teeno Super Over khelne pade. Lekin afsos, jeet toh Netherlands ki hi hui.
Match ka Jadoo: Kaise Bana Yeh Itihaas?
16 June 2025 ko Glasgow ke Titwood ground par yeh match khela gaya. Nepal ke captain Rohit Paudel ne toss jeeta aur pehle fielding ka faisla kiya. Netherlands ne 20 overs mein 152/7 banaye, jisme Teja Nidamanuru (35) aur Vikramjit Singh (30) ne thodi himmat dikhayi. Nepal ke Sandeep Lamichhane ne 3 wickets lekar sabko dikhaya ki unka jalwa abhi bhi baaki hai. Jawab mein, Nepal ne bhi 152/8 banaye, Rohit Paudel (48) aur Kushal Bhurtel (34) ke saath. Aakhri over mein Nandan Yadav ne Ryan Klein ko 4, 2, 2, 4 maar kar match ko Super Over tak le gaya.
Super Over ka Hungama
- Super Over 1: Nepal ne 19/1 banaye, Kushal Bhurtel ne Daniel Doram ko do chhakke aur ek chakka maara. Netherlands ne bhi 19/0 banaye, Max O’Dowd aur Michael Levitt ke saath.
- Super Over 2: Netherlands 17/1, Nepal 17/0. Lalit Rajbanshi ko pehle teen balls mein do chhakke pade, lekin unhone wapas aakar run roke. Nepal ke Rohit Paudel aur Dipendra Singh Airee ne bhi chhakke-chowke lagaye, lekin aakhri ball par 7 runs chahiye the. Airee ne Klein ko chhakka maar kar match teesre Super Over mein dhaakel diya.
- Super Over 3: Yahan Nepal ka dum nikla. Zach Lion-Cachet ne Rohit Paudel aur Rupesh Singh ko out kiya, Nepal 0 runs pe simat gaya. Michael Levitt ne Sandeep Lamichhane ke pehle ball par chhakka maar kar Netherlands ko jeet dilayi.
Nepal ka Jashn: Chhoti Team, Bada Dil
Yeh match Nepal ke liye ek bada mauka tha. Ek aisi team, jo 2014 T20 World Cup mein pehli baar dikhayi di thi aur Hong Kong ko 80 runs se hara tha, ne dikhaya ki woh bhi bade sapne dekh sakti hai. Kushal Bhurtel aur Rohit Paudel jaise khiladiyon ne sabit kiya ki chhoti teams bhi bade dhamake kar sakti hain. Yaad hai 2023 mein Nepal ne Asia Cup ke liye qualify kiya tha? Yeh wahi junoon hai. Sandeep Lamichhane, jo visa issues ke bawajood wapas aaye, ne 3 wickets lekar dikhaya ki Nepal ka talent kisi se kam nahi.
Netherlands ka Dabangg Style
Netherlands, jo pehle hi Scotland se 39 runs se haar chuke the, ne is match mein apna dum dikhaya. Michael Levitt aur Max O’Dowd jaise khiladiyon ne pressure mein bhi thand rakhi. Yeh wahi team hai jisne 2024 T20 World Cup mein Nepal ko 6 wickets se haraya tha, Max O’Dowd ke 54* ke saath. Lekin is baar Nepal ne unhe itna tang kiya ki teesra Super Over tak baat gayi.
Afsos, Phir Bhi Haar
Lekin afsos, Nepal ke fans ke dil toot gaye. Teeno Super Overs ke bawajood, Nepal ke haath jeet nahi lagi. Yeh wahi dukh hai jo 2019 World Cup final mein New Zealand ke fans ne mehsoos kiya tha, jab England ne boundary count pe jeet chheen li. Nepal ne dil jeeta, lekin trophy nahi. Agli baar, shayad yeh chhoti si team bada dhamaka karegi, lekin abhi ke liye, cricket ke is epic match ka maza hi kaafi hai… ya phir nahi?
