Sub-continent teams fighting it out for cricket supremacy

Exactly 40 days ago, I had put my bet on India Sri Lanka final in the world cup here and would you believe it – that is the only talking point going into Saturday’s title clash between exactly these two sides. To be honest, these were the sides going into the tournaments as favourites. They had the preparation levels, they had the variety in bowling and they had the top-scorers in form. And everything went as planned for them which justify my prediction as well. Had any of these two teams played sub-optimal game on a given day, the situation would have been different.

Now then, what about the grand finale at the God’s own den - Mumbai and the build-up leading up to it? I could add no more comments on the build-up as the media and networking websites is covering every bit of this. I will not be watching the final few hours of this final match including presentation ceremony but I can tell you: this is the time for team India and God will definitely churn Sanga and team to offer that nectar to all my countrymen who are going berserk in each corner of the country. India holds the edge simply because of their ability to pick-up at absolutely the crucial time. Sri Lanka on the other side is equally competent and talented but they may falter in their lower middle order – even more so in case Angelo Mathews is ruled out due to an injury. Writing no more on this topic, I pray and wish all the best to our dear Indian Cricket Team and hope they would end wait of 28 long years to give us back THE MOMENT OF GLORY!

P.S. - Going by the sentiments at this moment, I chose to write about the world cup one more time before I would continue with the previous tag on movies, music and books.
