New Road pe 1 June 2025 ko ek zabardast T20 Blast match mein, Worcestershire Rapids ne Yorkshire Vikings ko 60 run se (DLS method ke saath, kyunki baarish ne bhi thodi si dikhlaai di) dhulai di. Brett D’Oliveira aur Adam Hose ne batting mein aag lagayi, aur bowlers ne Yorkshire ko ekdum se neeche gira diya.
Batting ka Bawaal
Worcestershire ne pehle batting ki aur 20 over mein 201 for 5 ka solid score khada kiya. Innings ka hero tha captain Brett D’Oliveira aur Adam Hose ka third wicket ke liye 117 run ka dhamakedaar partnership. D’Oliveira ne 48 ball mein 79 run thok diye, boundaries aur sixes ke saath, apna sabse bada T20 score banaya. Hose ne bhi 37 ball mein 54 run ka solid support diya, pura time run rate ko high rakha. Last mein Ben Dwarshuis ne 11 ball mein 21 not out karke aag laga di, aur innings ko ekdum boost diya.
Yorkshire ke bowlers poore time haath paaon marte rahe, koi bhi unki batting ko rok nahi paya. Field mein bhi unki chhoti chhoti galtiyaan aur D’Oliveira-Hose ka partnership na tod paane ki wajah se unko bhaari pad gaya.
Yorkshire ki Bezzati
202 ka target chase karte hue Yorkshire ka batting ekdum se dhadaam se gir gaya, jaldi hi 51 for 6 pe aa gaye. Worcestershire ke bowlers, Adam Finch aur Jacob Duffy, ne pressure ke saath saath thodi si swing ka faida uthaya. Finch ne 2 for 19 ke saath kamaal kiya, aur Duffy ne 2 for 30 ke saath support diya. Ben Dwarshuis ne bhi batting ke saath bowling mein 2 for 22 leke apna all-round jadoo dikhaya. Yorkshire ke bade batsmen, jaise Dawid Malan aur Jonny Bairstow, ekdum flop, aur shuruati wickets ne unka poora game bigad diya.
Baarish ne bhi thodi si khalal daali, toh match DLS method se decide hua, lekin Yorkshire itna peeche tha ki unka koi chance hi nahi bacha. Worcestershire ke bowlers ne koi mauka nahi diya, aur 60 run se jeet pakki kar li.
Heroes aur Aage ka Scene
Brett D’Oliveira ke 79 run aur captaincy ne unko Player of the Match banaya. Adam Hose ka 54 run ka steady support aur Dwarshuis ka bat-ball ka double dhamal Worcestershire ki strength dikhata hai. Yorkshire ke liye yeh haar unki T20 mein kamzori dikhati hai, khaas kar jab unke bade batsmen fail ho jaate hain.
Yeh jeet Worcestershire ko Vitality T20 Blast ke North Group mein strong rakhti hai, aur unka momentum ab full on hai. Yorkshire ko apni batting thik karni hogi, kyunki agle matches mein unko jaldi bounce back karna hoga, khaas kar jab yeh dono teams County Championship mein 22-25 June 2025 ko Headingley mein dobara bhidengi.
