First time in the history of World Cup cricket the hosting nation will be crowned as World Champions. Sachin and Murlitharan – the two greats of World Cricket will play for the last time in the World Cup match.One has taken most number of wickets while other has scored most number of runs. However there can be only one winner either Tendulkar or Muralitharan,only time will tell.
India knows the Sri Lankans are not an easy team to beat with the players like T.Dilshan, K.Sangakara, L.Malinga and M.Muralitharan in prime form.The top three Sri Lankan batsmen all are in good form with bat but the weakness is in the Sri Lankan middle order which is yet to be tested in this tournament and that is where it gives edge to India over Sri Lanka.They have the bowlers like Lasith Malinga who can bowl many ‘the toe crusher yorkers’ in death overs.
Both teams know each other very well since they have played as many as 30 games between them since July 2008.
If India wins then it will be after long gap of 28 years and if Sri Lanka wins then this will be there second world cup triumph in 15 years.
Considering the performances of both the teams,India looks favorite to win this World Cup 2011.
