WT20 | India vs Sri Lanka | Final | 6th April, 2014 | India Innings

[Sakss]

The covers are off and we should have the toss soon

 

[Sakss]

The Indian team warming up

 

[Executioner]

Fingers crossed

 

[London_Lahori]

I'd rather the game concludes today. Don't want to be half following a final at work

 

[Kianig89]

earlier the thought was wicket will spin so bat first but now Wet outfield rain threat so bowl first decisions decisions

 

[London_Lahori]

Prob best to bowl first, the later the game starts the more dew there will be later

 

[Executioner]

Don't think there will be any dew.

Its April!!

 

[Kianig89]

INdia batting first would ensure atleast SL have a chance

 

[London_Lahori]

Let's hope the pitch remains consistent throughout

 

[battler]

Sl win the toss and bowl first!

 

[Red Devil]

Sri Lanka win the toss and elect to bowl first

 

[Logical]

Good thing SL bowl first. Should be a good game now !

 

[London_Lahori]

Sl win the toss and bowl first!

Hmm taken the Kohli factor out of it

 

[London_Lahori]

160 wins it.

India will look for 160.

SL will look to keep at 140

 

[Boi]

Kohli will fire again today and prove to everyone that he can turn it on batting first.

 

[battler]

Hmm taken the Kohli factor out of it

Ashwin and mishra will run riot on them and sl will choke again!

 

[London_Lahori]

Ashwin and mishra will run riot on them!

Maybe, though they have a couple of left handers which will negate ashwin carrom ball to a certain extent

 

[Bhaijaan]

Don't see the tense Lankans chase anything above 150 tonight. Lets just play proper cricket and not aim for something ridiculous. You don't need 170 against Lankans, trust me chico.

Pressure in the final of a WC in a run chase does funny things to batsman

 

[battler]

India have to negate the kushal perera factor!

 

[Asif321]

good india not chasing lankans have some chance now

 

[London_Lahori]

India have to negate the kushal perera factor!

He is the main man in the chase.

 

[London_Lahori]

Where's the hype guys lol

This is dead at the moment

 

[ekpakistani]

Winner today will be the team wearing blue

[battler]

India has to apply the 'dhoniconda' in the 2nd innings if we have to win here

 

[Itachi]

india will lose

 

[Aman]

Lost myself $40 <.<

SL should chase down anything India set.

 

[Saurav]

damn batting first

 

[Aman]

damn batting first

Yep, SL bat deep. India will need 170 min

 

[London_Lahori]

India are the best bowling team in the tournament. Their strength will be defending. In a chase, their strength is one man. Kohli.

 

[Aman]

This is what I mean't when I said Kohli is not a match winner in T20s, he can't bat teams out of the game in T20s.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India losing this.

 

[London_Lahori]

Yep, SL bat deep. India will need 170 min

You can bat until 11, but the pressure of a run chase in a final. You can add 10-15 runs to the total.

 

[London_Lahori]

All the Indians trying to jinx SL in here )

WT20 | India vs Sri Lanka | Final | 6th Arpil, 2014 | India Innings

This is what I mean't about Kohli not being a match winner, he can't bat teams out of the game in T20s. Master Chaser though.

Lets wait & see

 

[biggestdravidfan]

Dhoni , why couldn't you win toss at the most important time ???

 

[Aman]

Pressure will be the only thing stopping SL today, should win this..

 

[Aman]

Indian's aren't jinxing, they know SL bat deep and can play spin well.

 

[battler]

Anything less than 180 and India will most likely bottle it!

 

[QazzarFan]

Seems like they are showing it on ESPN on TV for US/Can audience.

 

[Zero]

SL at least have a chance, since India aren't chasing.
Kusal Perera really needs to fire today.

 

[battler]

Raina is the danger-man for Sl.

 

[Executioner]

Chasing in a final is not easy

But you have 3 senior pros and some quality players in your side. You should win.

 

[Electron]

Dhoni , why couldn't you win toss at the most important time ???

So that trolls don't have an excuse to belittle Indian wins. All our WC and CT wins came after losing the toss

 

[London_Lahori]

Sri Lanka can only win this game with Kusal Perera

 

[Aman]

Rohit, Raina, Yuvi and Dhoni will have to step up.

 

[Snow]

Batting second wins you game here. Lankans will have chance till end, all they need is one batter to click. Indians need 200+ to make sure they win it.

 

[Snow]

Yuvraj needs to move down the order. He is going to take 10 overs to get set.

 

[boomboomcheema]

In what time is the match going to start ? how much time more ?

 

[Red Devil]

Kohli is due a failure today!

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Why Mohit? Shammi is more skilled.

 

[Aman]

Can't pull my bet

 

[Red Devil]

In what time is the match going to start ? how much time more ?

Match starts in 10 mins

 

[boomboomcheema]

Batting second wins you game here. Lankans will have chance till end, all they need is one batter to click. Indians need 200+ to make sure they win it.

LOL, What ? Now India gotta put a score of 200 to defend against the Lankans ?

 

[Aman]

Kohli is due a failure today!

Kohli is ineffective in the first innings, one of the big hitters will have to play a blinder.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

India to win. You heard it here first

 

[boomboomcheema]

What is the team for India and SL ? Why is Cricinfo not updating ?

 

[mosh101]

Come on Dhoniiiiii

 

[London_Lahori]

What is the team for India and SL ? Why is Cricinfo not updating ?

No changes for either side

 

[mosh101]

$1million bonus on the cards for the lankans

 

[wasimjunior]

Kohli is ineffective in the first innings, one of the big hitters will have to play a blinder.

Lol..you cant say that about a player of his quality.

So bitter.

 

[London_Lahori]

The Lankans look nervous as hell.

 

[boomboomcheema]

No changes for either side

Cricinfo updated, Thisara comies in for seekuge.

 

[Aman]

Lol..you cant say that about a player of his quality.

So bitter.

Bitter about what

The stats are there for everyone to see..

 

[Donal Cozzie]

I started watching the Titanic at the start of the SL anthem and it finished before it

 

[London_Lahori]

Sanga and Jaya look like they haven't slept, especially sanga lol

 

[QazzarFan]

Lankan anthem reminds me of Vaughn's tweet

 

[London_Lahori]

Cricinfo updated, Thisara comies in for seekuge.

Cool, I didn't know that

 

[Electron]

Just revised all the mathematics formulas known to mankind. #ThankYouAnthem

 

[biggestdravidfan]

No offense , but how long is Sri lankan anthem ????

 

[London_Lahori]

Ind look relaxed, Sri Lanka tense as hell man.

 

[mosh101]

Im more than confident of india's bowling to defend any total they get today

 

[wasimjunior]

Bitter about what

The stats are there for everyone to see..

Bore off with stats- stats tell half the story and the game is played on the pitch.

Kohli is a world class player. Yes hes not as good batting first but he is still miles ahead of most middle order batters in the world, certainly his Pakistani compatriots.

 

[London_Lahori]

Sharma averages 30.

Not bad at all

 

[On_the_up]

Lanka had the 2011 WC final in mind when they asked India to bat first.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India will win. Another SL choke on the cards.

 

[London_Lahori]

Im more than confident of india's bowling to defend any total they get today

I'm the same, I think this game is as good as done already

 

[Electron]

Kulasekra will be dangerous, specially for Rohit.

 

[Red Devil]

Hafeez made it to the final

 

[mosh101]

LOL @ hafeez
