Naya koi twist ya team nahi dikhai de rahi, jo thodi si kami mehsoos hoti hai. Par iske bawajood, 6 se 17 September tak Guyana ke Providence Stadium mein hone wala yeh tournament cricket fans ke liye ek bada jashn hone wala hai. Yeh stadium apne bijli jaisa mahaul aur fans ke josh ke liye jana jata hai, aur is baar bhi yeh koi kamal dikhane wala hai.
Barbados Royals Ka Dabang Aura
Barbados Royals, jo 2023 aur 2024 ke champions rahe, ek baar phir apni dhamakedaar form ke saath aayenge. Hayley Matthews, unki captain, ne pichle seasons mein apni batting aur off-spin se sabko hairan kiya tha. 2024 ke final mein unki team ne Trinbago Knight Riders ko 4 wickets se hara kar apna doosra title jeeta tha. Unke saath Chamari Athapaththu jaisi international star aur Laura Harris jaisi explosive batter bhi hain, jo kisi bhi bowling attack ko tod sakti hain. Par yeh team itni strong hone ke bawajood, kabhi-kabhi overconfidence mein chook jati hai, jaise 2023 ke ek match mein Guyana Amazon Warriors ke khilaf unhe last over mein hara tha.
Guyana Amazon Warriors: Ghar Ka Maidaan, Ghar Ka Dum
Guyana Amazon Warriors, jo abhi tak WCPL title nahi jeet paye, is baar apne ghar ke maidaan par khelne ka faida uthana chahenge. Stafanie Taylor, unki captain, ek experienced all-rounder hain, aur pichle saal unki team ne Trinbago Knight Riders ke khilaf ek shandaar 9-wicket victory hasil ki thi, jab Sophie Devine ne 38* runs ke saath match khatam kiya tha. Unke bowling attack mein Shabnim Ismail jaisi teez bowler aur Chloe Tryon jaisi spin all-rounder hain, jo kisi bhi team ke liye khatra ban sakti hain. Yeh team shayad paper par Royals se thodi peeche dikhe, par unka josh aur ghar ka support unhe ek dark horse bana sakta hai. Yaad hai na, jab 2023 mein Guyana ke Imran Tahir ne men’s CPL mein apni team ko pehli baar title dilaya tha? Usi tarah ka jazba shayad women’s team mein bhi dikhe.
Trinbago Knight Riders: Underdog Ka Josh
Trinbago Knight Riders, jo 2022 ke inaugural champions the, pichle do saal se title se door rahe hain. Deandra Dottin, unki captain aur ek explosive all-rounder, apni team ko wapas se champion banane ke liye bechain hongi. 2022 ke final mein Dottin ne 59 runs ki shandaar innings kheli thi, jisse unki team ne Barbados Royals ko 10 runs se haraya tha. Is baar unke saath Jemimah Rodrigues aur Shikha Pandey jaisi Indian stars bhi hain, jo apne international experience ke saath team ko nayi taakat dengi. Pichle saal ek match mein Knight Riders 73 runs par hi simat gaye the, jo unke liye ek bura sapna tha. Par yeh team apne never-give-up attitude ke liye jani jati hai, aur shayad is baar woh sabko hairan kar de.
Ek Naya Chapter
WCPL 2025 na sirf cricket ka jashn hoga, balki Caribbean mein women’s cricket ke development ka bhi ek bada kadam hoga. Cricket West Indies ke president Dr Kishore Shallow ne kaha tha ki yeh tournament naye talent ko mauka deta hai aur young cricketers ko inspire karta hai. Pichle seasons mein The 6ixty jaisa T10 tournament bhi khela gaya tha, jisse fans ko ek alag hi maza aaya tha. Is baar bhi double-headers ke saath men’s CPL matches honge, jo mahaul ko aur bhi exciting banayenge.
Guyana ka Providence Stadium pehle bhi memorable moments de chuka hai, jaise 2024 men’s CPL final mein Saint Lucia Kings ne Guyana Amazon Warriors ko hara kar apna pehla title jeeta tha. Is baar bhi aise hi koi moment ban sakta hai, jahan ek nayi star paida ho ya koi underdog team sabko hara de.
Thodi Si Chinta
Lekin thodi si chinta bhi hai. Har saal wahi teen teams khel rahi hain, aur tournament ka format bhi same hai. Nayi teams ya players ke aane se shayad yeh aur bhi exciting ho sakta tha. Agar Barbados Royals phir se jeet gaye, toh shayad fans ke liye thodi si ek hi jaisi feeling aaye. Par phir bhi, Guyana Amazon Warriors aur Trinbago Knight Riders ke paas yeh mauka hai ki woh is baar kuch alag karein aur apne fans ko ek nayi kahani sunayein.
