Badi Tasveer: 6 Din Baad Action Mein Wapas Capitals
Meg Lanning aur Ashleigh Gardner ek baar phir aamne-saamne. Lekin sabki nazar Gujarat Giants par hogi, jo pichle do matches jeetkar playoff ki daud mein wapas aa chuki hai. Pehle chaar matches mein teeno haarne ke baad Giants ne jabardast comeback kiya hai aur ab Lucknow leg ko shandaar tareeke se khatam karna chahengi, phir Mumbai ke liye udaan bharenge.
Dilli Capitals ne sabse pehle playoffs ke liye qualify kar liya tha aur ab ye unka aakhri league match hoga. Saath hi, woh points table ke top par bane huye hain, jisme unhone 7 mein se 5 matches jeete hain.
Gujarat Giants: Ab Sab Sambhal Raha Hai
Tournament ke shuru mein Gujarat Giants ko apne best combination ko dhundhne mein waqt laga. Lekin ab team balance ho chuki hai. Pehle unki batting sirf Gardner aur Deandra Dottin ke aas-paas ghoomti thi, lekin ab Harleen Deol, Beth Mooney aur Phoebe Litchfield ne bhi zimmedaari uthani shuru kar di hai.
Lekin unki asli taqat unka bowling attack hai. WPL mein jeete gaye 3 matches mein Giants ke bowlers ne 30 mein se 26 wickets nikaali hain. Kashvee Gautam, Tanuja Kanwar aur Priya Mishra jaise naye chehre bhi zabardast pradarshan kar rahe hain. Ye teeno milkar ab tak 21 wickets le chuke hain, jabki all-rounders Gardner aur Dottin ne bhi achha support diya hai.
Capitals Ke Liye Challenge: Momentum Ko Barkarar Rakhna
DC apna pichla match 6 din pehle khel chuki hai aur unka playoff match bhi ab 6 din baad hai. Aise mein unka momentum kaise rahega, yeh dekhna dilchasp hoga. Lanning ki team competitive hai aur wo ye match halka nahi lenge. Pichle mukable mein DC ne GG ko sirf 128 runs ka target chase karte hue 29 balls pehle hi jeet hasil kar li thi.
Ab jab playoff ka daav laga hai, to kya Giants badla lene mein safal rahengi? Ya phir Capitals ka raaj barkarar rahega?

In Focus: Shafali Verma aur Tanuja Kanwar
🔹 Shafali Verma: Pichle match mein unhone RCB ke khilaf 80* runs ki dhamakedaar inning kheli thi. Pichle 3 matches mein unhone 167 runs banaye hain aur qualification ka koi pressure na hone ke wajah se wo aur khul kar khelegi.
🔹 Tanuja Kanwar: Tournament ke shuru mein sirf 1 wicket mili thi, lekin agli 3 matches mein unhone 6 wickets lekar dhoom macha di. Lucknow ki pitch par unhone UP Warriorz ke khilaf 3/17 ka shandar spell dala tha. Capitals ke jyadatar ballebaaz right-handers hain, isliye unke khilaf Kanwar ka role aur bhi important hoga.
