T20 Blast 2025 ke shuruaati dhamake mein, Glamorgan ne Middlesex ko Merchant Taylors’ School mein 5 wicket se dhobi pachhad diya. Legspinner Mason Crane ne apni ghumakedaar bowling se chaar wicket jhad diye, aur Middlesex ki batting ekdum dhua-dhua ho gayi. Yeh match, jo 1 June 2025 ko hua, ek aisi pitch pe khela gaya jisme ball kabhi upar kabhi neeche, aur Glamorgan ne chase kar ke dikha diya apna dum.
Match ka Scene
Middlesex pehle batting karke 20 over mein sirf 124 for 9 bana paya. Crane ke 4 for 28 ke jadoo ne unki kamar tod di, middle order ko ekdum lapet diya. Glamorgan bhi shuru mein thodi si ladkhadayi, 64 for 5 pe aake, par Asa Tribe (40) aur Dan Douthwaite (31) ne 38 ball mein 64 run ka dhamaka karke match 15.3 over mein hi jeet liya, score 128 for 5.
Crane ka Kamaal
Mason Crane, Glamorgan ka legspin ka ustaad, ne apna pehla ball daalte hi Middlesex ke captain Stephen Eskinazi ko deep mein pakadwa diya. Doosre over mein Kane Williamson (25) ko Hayden Kerr ne run-out karke, aur Ben Geddes ke stumps udake, Crane ne apna rang dikha diya. Asa Tribe ne ek mast catch pakad ke Leus Du Plooy ko bhi out kiya, aur Luke Hollman ko bhi Crane ne aasani se lapet diya. Pitch ke upar-neeche hone ka faida uthate hue, Crane ne apni googlies aur pace se Middlesex ko band baja diya.
Middlesex ka Rona-Dhona
Middlesex ki batting ekdum sust thi, pehle 6 over mein ek hi boundary laga. Williamson ne thodi si ummeed jagayi ek chhakke ke saath, par Crane ke samne sab fail. Glamorgan ke fielders, khas karke Tribe, ne gazab ke catches aur tez harkaton se Middlesex ko koi mauka nahi diya. Inka total 124 for 9 hi reh gaya.
Glamorgan ka Chase: Darr Se Jeet Tak
125 ka target chhota tha, par pitch ne Glamorgan ko bhi sataya. 64 for 5 pe aake, lag raha tha game fisal jayega. Par yahan Tribe aur Douthwaite ne apna swag dikhaya. Dono ne milke boundaries aur chhakke maar-maar ke, 38 ball mein 64 run jod ke match apni jeb mein daal liya. Tribe 40 pe not out, aur Douthwaite 31 pe not out rahe, aur Glamorgan ne 4.5 over bacha ke jeet haasil ki.
Context aur Asar
Yeh jeet Glamorgan ke liye T20 Blast 2025 mein ek solid shuruaat thi, khaas karke jab County Championship mein wo teen match jeet chuke hain. Middlesex ka T20 mein bura haal hai, 6 saal se quarter-final nahi dekha. Crane, jo pehle England khel chuka hai, ne apna T20 ka jalwa dikha diya, aur Tribe-Douthwaite ne batting mein Glamorgan ka dum bataya.
