England ka Game Plan
Cardiff ke Sophia Gardens mein, June 1, 2025 ko, England ke new white-ball captain Harry Brook ne toss jeeta aur West Indies ke khilaaf pehle bowling ka faisla kiya. Baadal chhaye hue hain, aur UK mein aisi condition mein ball swing karti hai, toh England ke bowlers, jaise Gus Atkinson aur Saqib Mahmood, iska faida uthane ke mood mein hain. Cardiff ka pitch shuru mein bowlers ke liye mast hota hai, khas kar jab baadal hote hain, toh England chahta hai West Indies ko chhota score pe rok ke baad mein chase kar le. Unka batting line-up, jisme Joe Root, Jacob Bethell aur Jamie Smith hain, chase ke liye solid hai. Ye faisla T20 trend ke saath bhi jata hai, jahan teams ko target chase karna pasand hai, kyunki dew aane se bowling mushkil ho sakti hai.
West Indies ka Scene
West Indies ke liye bura news hai ke unka opener Evin Lewis abhi bhi nahi khel raha, shayad groin injury ki wajah se. Ye unke liye bada jhatka hai, kyunki Lewis upar se aggressive start deta hai. Captain Shai Hope ne team se kaha hai ke “smart cricket” khelna padega. Matlab, conditions ke hisaab se khelna, bekaar shots se bachna, aur England ke tight bowlers ke khilaaf dimaag se kaam lena. Hope khud ek solid batter hai, jo England ke khilaaf bade runs bana chuka hai, toh uspe badi zimmedari hai. Brandon King aur Keacy Carty ne second ODI mein century partnership banayi, lekin England ne teen catches drop kiye, warna West Indies aur pressure mein hota. Middle order mein Nicholas Pooran ya Andre Russell jaise power-hitters hain, jo game palat sakte hain, lekin unhe Adil Rashid jaise spinners se bhi sambhalna hoga.
Match ka Vibe
Yeh second ODI hai West Indies ke England tour 2025 ka, jo ek six-match series ka hissa hai (teen ODI, teen T20). Dono teams 2027 World Cup ke liye qualify karne ke chakkar mein hain, aur England, jo abhi ICC rankings mein eighth pe hai, pressure mein hai. West Indies, ninth rank pe, apni batting ke dum pe upset kar sakta hai, jaise unhone 2023-24 aur 2024-25 mein kiya. Cardiff ke short boundaries batting ke liye mast hain, lekin cloudy weather mein England ke bowlers game ke shuru mein West Indies ko pareshan kar sakte hain.
Aur Kya Chal Raha Hai
England ka first ODI mein West Indies ko 238 runs se dhulaai di thi, toh unka confidence high hai. West Indies ke liye Hope ke saath Carty aur King ko solid start dena hoga, aur bowlers jaise Gudakesh Motie ko England ke batsmen, khas kar Root ko, rokna hoga.
