Finn Allen – Match ke Real Hero
Kal ke match me sabse bada naam agar kisi ka tha to woh tha Finn Allen.
Allen ne batting karte waqt bilkul fearless cricket dikhaya. Unhone power hitting ka aisa show diya ki South Africa ke bowlers helpless nazar aaye.

Sirf 33 balls me century bana kar Allen ne T20 World Cup history ka fastest hundred record bhi bana diya.
Yeh innings itni dominating thi ki match almost powerplay me hi decide ho gaya tha.
Allen ki batting me ek khas baat thi — unhone sirf boundaries par focus nahi kiya, balki intelligent shot selection bhi dikhaya. Unhone spinners aur pacers dono ko equally attack kiya.
Isi wajah se unhe Player of the Match award bhi diya gaya.
New Zealand ki Explosive Opening Partnership
New Zealand ki batting ka start hi itna aggressive tha ki South Africa ko comeback ka mauka hi nahi mila.
Opening pair tha:

Yahan se match ka momentum completely New Zealand ki taraf shift ho gaya.
South Africa ki Batting – Mixed Performance
Agar South Africa ki batting ki baat karein, to unka start kaafi disappointing raha.

Marco Jansen

- 55 runs*
- 30 balls
ki valuable innings kheli.

Bowling Department – South Africa Completely Struggled
South Africa ka bowling attack usually kaafi strong mana jata hai. Lekin is match me woh completely outplayed nazar aaye.
New Zealand ke batters ne bowlers ko settle hone ka mauka hi nahi diya.
Pace aur spin dono attacks par boundaries lagti rahi. Powerplay ke baad bhi scoring rate high hi raha.
South African captain Aiden Markram ne multiple bowling changes try kiye, lekin koi bhi strategy kaam nahi aayi.
