Is high-stakes muqabale mein PBKS ne 185 ka target bada hi aasani se chase kar liya, jiska main highlight tha Arya aur Josh Inglis ke beech 109 runs ki zabardast partnership.
Mumbai Indians ne pehle batting karte hue 184 ka strong total banaya, jisme unke top order ka bada yogdaan tha. Lekin PBKS ne apne form mein chal rahe batting lineup ke saath full confidence ke saath chase start kiya. Shuruat mein ek early wicket gira, lekin Arya aur Inglis ne moorcha sambhal liya. Dono ne aggression aur composure ka perfect combo dikhaya, aur match ko PBKS ke paksh mein daal diya.
Arya ne apne stylish shots aur precise boundaries ke saath innings ko anchor kiya. Dusri taraf, Inglis ne apni khas attacking style mein MI ke bowlers ki dhulai ki – powerful drives aur nayi-nayi shots se crowd ko entertain karte rahe. Unki 109-run ki partnership ek masterclass thi – smart cricket, solid technique aur risk ka perfect balance. MI ke bowlers ke paas jawab hi nahi tha.
Jab tak unka partnership tootaa, tab tak PBKS match par full control mein thi. Baaki batters ne aaram se match finish kar diya, aur kuch overs baaki reh gaye. Is chase ne dikhaya ki PBKS ki batting kitni deep hai aur pressure situations mein unka temperament kitna strong hai.
MI ke liye yeh haar thoda jhatka tha, aur ab unhe Eliminator khelna padega. Wahaan unke paas ek aur mauka hoga Qualifier 2 mein pahunchne ka. Poore tournament mein MI ne kuch brilliant moments diye hain, par ab unhe bowling mein consistency lana padega, especially is do-or-die match ke pehle.
PBKS ki yeh jeet unko tournament ka ek top contender bana deti hai. Arya aur Inglis ki form, aur pure team ka balance, PBKS ko Qualifier 1 mein ek dangerous team bana raha hai – jahan wo direct final ki ticket lene ke liye utarenge. Yeh match WPL ke level ko upar le gaya – aur Arya-Inglis jaisi performances ne playoffs ko aur bhi exciting bana diya hai.
