Australia ka young left-arm spinner Cooper Connolly ne Sunday ko MacKay me history likh di. Sirf 22 saal ki umar me usne apne career ka pehla five-for liya, aur iske saath hi kai bade records tod diye. South Africa ke khilaf usne 6 overs me sirf 22 runs diye aur 5 wickets le liye.
Spinner’s Historic Feat
Australia ke spinners ki baat karein toh pehle Michael Clarke (5-35 vs Sri Lanka, 2004) youngest the. Ab Connolly unse bhi aage nikal gaye. Sirf itna hi nahi, unka 5-22 ab Australian spinner ke liye best ODI bowling figures bhi ban gaya hai, jo pehle Brad Hogg ke naam tha (5-32 vs West Indies, 2005).

How The Spell Unfolded Conclusion
Connolly ko attack par 14th over me introduce kiya gaya. Pehla over thoda mehnga laga jab Tony de Zorzi ne unke against boundary lagayi. Lekin turant agle ball par revenge le liya—de Zorzi mid-wicket boundary par catch ho gaye.
Iske baad Connolly ne Dewald Brevis ko out karke momentum pura Australia ke taraf khinch liya. Brevis ne 27 balls par 49 run banaye the aur bohot dangerous lag rahe the, lekin long-off par ek simple catch de baithe.
Agla wicket Wiaan Mulder ka tha, jisko Marnus Labuschagne ne ek outstanding catch ke saath pavilion bheja. Phir Corbin Bosch aur Keshav Maharaj bhi Connolly ke shikaar bane. Sirf kuch overs me South Africa ka middle aur lower order collapse ho gaya.
Australia’s Batting Domination
Is match me pehle batting karte hue Australia ne South Africa ke bowlers ko bilkul chance nahi diya. Travis Head (142), Mitchell Marsh (100) aur Cameron Green (118 off 47 balls)* ne top order se hi opposition ko match se bahar kar diya. Green ka century Australia ke men’s ODIs history me second fastest hai, sirf Glenn Maxwell se peeche.
Team ne total banaya 431-2, jo South Africa ke liye kabhi chase karna realistic nahi tha.

South Africa’s Collapse
Chase karte hue South Africa ki shuruaat hi kharab rahi. Xavier Bartlett aur Sean Abbott ne early breakthroughs diye—Markram, Rickelton, Bavuma aur Stubbs pehle 10 overs me hi out ho gaye. Score sirf 50-4 tha jab Connolly attack par aaye. Uske baad to match one-sided ho gaya.
Australia Win By 276 Runs
South Africa apne lowest ODI defeat margin me gir gaye, 276 runs se. Ye unka men’s ODI history ka sabse bada loss hai. Connolly ke spell ne sirf match hi nahi, balki unke international career ko ek naye level par la diya.
Conclusion
Connolly ne sirf apni bowling se record books me naam likhwaya nahi, balki ye dikhaya ke Australia ke paas abhi bhi naye match-winners ki kami nahi hai. Jahan Travis Head, Marsh aur Green jaise established stars batting me shine kar rahe hain, wahi Connolly jaise youngsters bowling me apna dum dikha rahe hain.
