Aamchi Mumbai is all set for the clash of Final between co-hosts India and Sri Lanka for the title of World cup 2011. Both the teams are ready for clash and must have some pressure to win the trophy. Though it is just one more game of cricket there is some more involved in the game and that is emotions of people from both countries. Numerologists and Pandits have rubbed their hand to get fame by predicting the winner for the finals. After beating arch-rivals Pakistan in the semis India is more confident but at the same time Sri Lanka is not the team to ignore when all of their top players are in good form.
India have played very well throughout the tournament and beaten Australia, Pakistan in quarter and semi final respectively. On the other hand Sri Lanka have beaten England and New Zealand. Both the teams are looking good and it will be very tough contest. Pressure and expectation will be very high so players need to keep their head cool and play the game with patience. If we look at the batting line up Sri Lankan openers are in really good form while experienced Jayawardena and Sangakara looks solid in the middle order. They have deep batting line up and if Angelo Mathews is going to play tomorrow it will give them extra advantage in batting. Dilshan, Sangakara and Jayawardena have good record against India. At the same time Indian openers are also in very good form and have given good start in all the matches. Yuvraj Singh, Gambhir have taken responsibilities in middle order while Raina doing good in death overs.
Batting line up of both the teams are looking same as many players are in very good form. Bowling is bit worry for India as Harbhajan Singh and Munaf Patel havent got proper rythem yet. Sri Lankan bowlers are doing really good job with three Ms(Murali, Mendis and Malinga). For India Zaheer Khan has done really well while Yuvraj imerge with his bowling performance. Ashish Nehra is injured and ruled out of the final. Ashwin will replace Nehra from winning elevan against Pakistan. As the final is in India and its homeground of Master Blaster Sachin, every Indian is expecting India to win and Sachin to complete his 100th century at home.
From India's point of view this is not just a final game, it is dream of many. Specially as it is probably last world cup for Sachin Tendulkar and India never won any world cup in which Sachin played, it is dream for India to give world cup trophy to him as a gift for serving 21 long years in Indian cricket and being Ideal cricketer for world. Lets hope we will win it. At the same time it is the last game of legendary spinner Murlidharan who is highest wicket taker in the world of cricket. It will be a good contast between highest run getter and highest wicket tacker.
Key Player:
India: Sachin, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Zaheer, Raina.
Sri Lanka: Dilshan, Sangakara, Jayawardena, Malinga, Murlidharan, Mendis.
