Surrey Women ne Beckenham mein Metro Bank One-Day Cup ke ek dilchasp match mein Warwickshire Women ko hara kar final mein jagah banayi. Ryana MacDonald-Gay ne apni shandaar all-round performance se sabka dil jeet liya, jabki Warwickshire ki Hannah Baker ne 3 wickets ke saath zabardast bowling ki, par 134 runs ka target defend nahi kar paayi.
Match ka Jist
Warwickshire ne pehle batting ki, lekin unka start bahut kharab raha. Ryana MacDonald-Gay aur Alexa Stonehouse ne shuruaat mein hi unhe 34/4 par laa diya, dono ne 2-2 wickets liye. Warwickshire poore 134 runs par out ho gayi. Hannah Baker ne apni taraf se koshish ki, 3 wickets lekar Surrey ke middle order ko hila diya, par unki team ke paas runs hi nahi the defend karne ke liye.
Ryana MacDonald-Gay ka Jalwa
21 saal ki England player Ryana MacDonald-Gay ne dono bat aur ball se kamaal kiya. Bowling mein unhone Warwickshire ke top order ko dhvasta kiya, apni tezi aur line-length se stumps ko target kiya. Batting mein unhone Kalea Moore ke saath 58 runs ki partnership ki, jo Surrey ke chase ko sambhala. 16th over mein unhone ek shandaar cover drive se four maara, aur team ko 110/6 tak le gaye. Aakhri overs mein 24 runs chahiye the, aur MacDonald-Gay ke cool attitude ne Surrey ko last over mein jeet dilayi.
Warwickshire ka Struggle
Warwickshire ki batting shuru se hi ladkhadayi. MacDonald-Gay aur Stonehouse ne unhe koi mauka nahi diya. Hannah Baker ne apni bowling se umeed jagayi, lekin baaki bowlers ka support na milne aur kam score ki wajah se haar gaye. Surrey ke pass Alice Capsey, Sophia Dunkley jaise stars the, jo match ko apni taraf le gaye.
Surrey ka Final ka Raasta
Ye jeet Surrey ke liye ek bada moment hai, aur MacDonald-Gay iski hero rahi. Unki pehli half-century aur wickets ne team ko boost diya hai. Pehle bhi unhone Essex ke khilaaf aakhri do wickets lekar jeet dilayi thi. Ab final mein jaate hue, Surrey ka confidence high hai.
Aage kya?
Ryana MacDonald-Gay ka star status badhta ja raha hai. Unhe ECB se development contract mila hai aur 2025 Women’s Ashes ke liye Test squad mein jagah bhi. Warwickshire ke liye Hannah Baker ek nayi umeed hai, par unhe apni batting thik karni hogi. Surrey ab final mein title ke liye ladegi, aur MacDonald-Gay ke form ke saath, wo bade contenders hain
