Match Ka Scene
June 1, 2025 ko Hove ke 1st Central County Ground mein Sussex Sharks ne Gloucestershire ko Vitality T20 Blast South Group match mein 80 run se hara diya. Ye Sussex ki 2025 season mein doosri seedhi jeet thi, jisme unhone defending champions ko bilkul lapet diya. Tom Alsop aur James Coles ne batting mein dhoom machayi, aur Tymal Mills ne bowling se aag laga di.
Sussex Ki Batting: Alsop Aur Coles Ka Jalwa
Sussex ne pehle batting karke 173 run ka solid score khada kiya. Tom Alsop aur James Coles ke beech fourth wicket ke liye 105 run ki zabardast partnership ne innings ko sambhala. Alsop ne 58 run (35 ball) mein thokke, thodi shanti ke saath aggression dikhaya, jabki Coles ne 43 run (27 ball) mein tezi se khela, apna all-round dhamaka dikhate hue. Daniel Hughes ne shuruat mein 34 run (19 ball) mein chhe chhakkon ke saath mood banaya, ek achhi pitch aur tezi se outfield ke saath. Lekin, Sussex ki innings ke end mein thodi si gadbad hui, jab unhone aakhiri saat wicket sirf 25 run mein ganva diye. Gloucestershire ke bowlers, David Payne aur Matt Taylor (dono ne teen-teen wicket liye), ne wapas fight kiya. Phir bhi, Sussex ka score kaafi bada tha.
Gloucestershire Ka Chase: Mills Ne Sabko Saaf Kiya
174 ke target ka peecha karte hue Gloucestershire ki batting ekdum bikhar gayi. Innings shuru hui 19/0 se, lekin jaldi hi girne lagi. Ollie Robinson ne pehle Cameron Bancroft ka off-stump uda diya, aur D’Arcy Short bhi jaldi out ho gaya, deep backward-square pe pakda gaya. Tymal Mills, Sussex ka hero bowler, ne 3/13 ke figures ke saath tabahi machayi. Usne Miles Hammond ko mid-wicket pe pakadwaya aur David Payne ka middle stump ukhaad diya. James Coles ne bhi 2/26 ke saath Jack Taylor ko out kiya, jabki Jack Carson ki spin ne do aur wicket (2/15) liye, Gloucestershire ke left-handers ko pareshan karke. Nathan McAndrew aur Brad Currie ne bhi ek-ek wicket chipka diya, aur Gloucestershire 93 run pe all-out ho gaya, sirf teen batsman double figures tak pahunche.
Key Players Ka Kamaal
- Tom Alsop: 58 run (35 ball), innings ko sambhala aur solid partnership banayi.
- James Coles: 43 run (27 ball) aur 2/26, all-round dhamaka kiya.
- Tymal Mills: 3/13, tezi se Gloucestershire ki batting ko uda diya.
- Jack Carson: 2/15, left-handers ke khilaaf spin se kamaal kiya.
- Ollie Robinson: 1/11, shuruat mein hi bada jhatka diya.
Gloucestershire Ka Dard
Gloucestershire, jo apne pehle match mein Kent se chaar run se haar gaya tha, yahan bhi koi khaas momentum na bana saka. Batting mein koi solid partnership na hone se aur Sussex ke alag-alag bowling attack ke saamne woh bilkul laachar ho gaye. James Bracey akela reh gaya, baaki sab jaldi-jaldi out ho gaye. Defending champions ko abhi apni batting ko thik karna hoga.
Sussex Ka Plan: Perfect Execution
Sussex ka plan bilkul on-point tha, captain Tymal Mills ne front se lead kiya. Jack Carson ko Gloucestershire ke left-handers ke khilaaf daalne ka decision kaafi acha raha, aur bowlers ki discipline ne Gloucestershire ko koi mauka nahi diya. Sussex ki batting ka aakhiri collapse ek chhoti si kami thi, lekin unka score Gloucestershire ke liye kaafi bada tha.
Double-Header Mein Dhoom
Ye match Hove mein T20 Vitality Blast double-header ka hissa tha, jisme Sussex Sharks ne men’s aur women’s dono matches jeete. Women’s team ne Gloucestershire ko 27 run se hara diya, jisme King ke nabeaten 68 run ne dhoom machayi. Is double jeet ne home crowd ko full josh diya aur Sussex ki campaign ke liye acha vibe set kiya.
Aage Ka Plan
Sussex ki yeh badi jeet ne unhe South Group mein aur mazboot kiya hai, jo 2024 mein semi-finals tak pahunche the. Mills, Coles, aur Alsop jaise players ke form ke saath, Sussex 2025 Vitality T20 Blast mein bada dhamaka kar sakta hai. Gloucestershire ko ab apni batting ki kamzori ko thik karna hoga, kyunki unka agla match Kent ke khilaaf 6 June, 2025 ko hai.
