India vs. Sri Lanka: Who will win?
Sunday, 6 April 2014
India has reached the finals of the T20 World Cup and no doubt it is the main contender from the beginning of the tournament. India created a bang from the beginning by beating its arch rival Pakistan. Now, Sri Lanka and India will be vying for establishing their superiority.
India and Sri Lanka always dominate their opponents of the other continents on the ground of the Indian subcontinent. This is because the pitches of this subcontinent always favour spinners and give little scope to the fast bowlers. South Africa has failed again to cross the semi-finals bar. It is indeed unfortunate that the South African team are yet to win any major tournament despite being always a title contender.
The final match between India and Sri Lanka will be an exciting event for the cricket lovers. We only hope rain doesn't spoil the match. The confidence level of both the finalists is high and it is very difficult for us to predict the result. It will be a treat to watch the game. Although the home team has disappointed us, it will not deter the cricket lovers of our country to enjoy this mega final.
Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems to be a lucky mascot for India but only time will say if he can bag another World Cup for his country. Best of luck for both the finalist teams!
