Match Highlights & Analysis

India ne toss jeet kar pehle batting ka faisla kiya. Openner Shafali Verma ne 31 runs ki tez-tarrar innings khel kar team ko ek behtareen start diya. Lekin unke out hote hi middle-order bilkul khamosh ho gaya. South African bowlers—khaas taur par Marizanne Kapp aur Shabnim Ismail—ne aisi kasat-bazi ki, ki Indian batters khul kar shot nahi khel paye. Isi lagatar dabao ki wajah se Indian team 158/7 ke score par hi ruk gayi. Halanki, is match ka sabse bada aur yaadgaar lamha captain Harmanpreet Kaur ke naam raha, jinhone apne 200 T20Is ka ek azeem milestone poora kiya.

South Africa ki shuruwat thori dheemi rahi aur jald do wicket girne ke baad dabaav barh gaya. Lekin phir captain Laura Wolvaardt aur Tazmin Brits ne innings ko sambhala. Iske baad Marizanne Kapp crease par aayin aur tabahi macha di! Unhon ne sirf 45 balls par 7 chaukon aur 4 chhakon ki madad se 81 runs ki dhuaandhaar paari khel kar match khatam kar diya. Aakhir mein Tazmin Brits (40) aur Nadine de Klerk ke out hone se thora drama zaroor paida hua, lekin Kapp ne aakhri waqt tak thandey dimaagh se kaam lete hue team ko shaan-daar jeet dila di.

Old Trafford ki pitch batting ke liye bilkul dhasu thi. Shuruat mein fast bowlers ko thoda swing aur seam mila, lekin jaise-jaise khel aage badha, bounce ekdum behtareen ho gaya aur ball seedha bat par aane lagi. Baad mein os (dew) padne ki wajah se bowling karna mushkil ho gaya, jisne chase karne wali team ki raah mazeed aasan kar di.

Dropped catches India ko le doobe, Marizanne Kapp ki tabaah-kun half-century ne poora paansa hi palat diya. Is shandaar jeet ke sath South Africa ne na sirf Group A ka equation badal diya hai, balki momentum bhi apne naam kar liya. Ab saari umeedein aur dabao Indian team par hai—Australia ke khilaf agle mah-muqable mein zordar comeback hi ab ekmatra rasta hai.
