Final it's here India vs Sri Lanka
This date it's India Anniversary 28 years ago. Sri Lanka had managed to get into a final every year of a world cup. And they manage to get to the finals again but this time there no Australia but there India. This time it's going to a be Sri Lanka vs India final.
India is on the home ground can they manage to be the first country to win the world cup at home.
There's some confusion over who's won the toss. What drama. And they are doing a re-toss. No one heard who called what the first time. Kumar Sangakkara has won the re-toss and Sri Lanka will bat, a massive moment.
The first innings it was a slow start the openings there was nerves dot balls even let Zaheer get three maidens. But the openings did not last to long and got OUT. Sangakara got off to a good start I thought he going to play like a captain to the end with Mahela. But he did his part got 48 runs just missed his 50.
Mahela was the man for Sri Lanka I said he should stand to the end and that what he did that Mahela scored 103 runs off 88 balls. Well three wicket's fell but it was not Mahela they could not get his wicket. In the power play they where scoring at a run out. Perra come and finshed the job for Sri Lanka. He got 22 runs off 9 balls. He was very good for a batsmen that just come in. He hit the last ball for a six that's how Sri Lanka got to the total of 276.
Target for India is 277 it's not going to be easy chase. But if Sri Lanka bowlers and feilders are good and bowl dot like Zaheer did. They would get victory.
So the first time a host country won the world cup on their home ground. Both teams really played well through out the tournament to get a final and Australia was there. India the captain Dohni did mistakes in the tournament but that did not not really matter. He did the winning runs he got is country to victory well done Mr Cool Guy.
They did this for the nation of India. Lot's of emotions from the players most of them it's there first world cup they won. But it was all eyes on Sachin he brought the team. I was in tears India it was your night your ground your cup 28 years tell today won the cwc2011 to get to this magic moment emotions all around as the legend of India would step down this is for the nation of India.
Sri Lanka you are still a strong team don't let this bring you down Kumar Sangakara you brought your team into the final. But your mistakes of those changes did not really work. But you are supported you still be my favourite team. Murali he is also be leaving the International world of Cricket. Going to miss him spin of the bowlers those eyes what every batsmen is scared of he could get any wicket's but he took two wicket's the the semi final. He is still not fit but Sangakara want him to play.
Before I forget to Gary Kirsten from South Africa played for South Africa coach of India got India to the final and they won the world cup. I am happy for him but sad South Africa could get near to this moment would they ever win a world cup? Cricket season is also ended in India so Gary shall be returning to South Africa
That's all for me the next cricket world cup 2015 would be host by New Zealand & Australia.
