India takes on Srilanka in the grand Final in Mumbai
Both teams are hungry to won this WC to prove their supremacy...As team india as concern they are started as the tournament favourites and played some good and excellent cricket through out the tournament by beating two good sides (Australia nad pakistan back to back to enter the final) so they are very much confident they can won this game easily and lift the cup after 28 years..The team looks good with sachin and shewag at the top and with a fighting middle order,bowling is also good with the lights of Ashwin coming back to the team he will make a big difference (he is in place of the injured Nehra.)..Zaheer,Munaf and Bhajji are bowling really well...and with the part time option of Yuvi who is picking up the wickets whenever dhoni hand over the ball to him..
And it is probably Sachin's last WC match infront of his home crowd and he is very much eager to do well and retire with a quote "That I have been a part of a WC winning squad.."
On the other hand Srilanka is also started as a tournament fav's..winning against two good teams England and Newzealand back to back..They are not good looking team in the paper...but, they are performing well over their standards and composition..The openers Dilshan and Tharanga are scoring lots of runs...at the top at a good pace..and the middle order is solid and steady with Sangakara,Jayawardene and Silva..Angelo mathews is out of the tournament due to injury is big draw back for Lankans becuase he is a good all-rounder and have a good record against India...(Suraj Randiv or Thisara Perera is expected to be the replacement)..As bowling is concern they got a man with a awkward bowling action and as well as wierd hair style who is bowling well is none other than Lasith Malinga..and more spinning..options with Murali,Herath,Mendis and part time option Dilshan..
And this is Murali's final ODI match who is ready to announce his retirement after this match..so he is also eager to retire on a winning note and with a big smile on his face...
Surely, This will be a match to remember and we can expect a good competetion..The result will be based on the team who keep their nerves during pressure..and stay cool headed through out the contest...
