India (Ind) vs Sri Lanka (SL) Final, ICC World T20 2014: Sri Lanka win the ICC World T20 2014
India will be looking at a clean sweep at the ICC World T20 2014 with a win in all games.
India will go into battle against Sri Lanka for the ICC World T20 2014 Champion title in another all Asian final. Both teams had a practice game to start off their journey in the tournament and will meet again for deciding who gets to lift the cup.
India has had a very impressive performance in the ICC World T20 2014 so far with wins in all matches and all of them have been comprehensive wins with no element of doubt or luck coming into play. After the 1st game where the bowling wasn’t at its peak, the Indian bowlers have delivered consistently and provided the wickets to help India restrict the other teams.
MS Dhoni’s leadership and Virat Kohli’s consistent batting has been another major contributing factor to see India win all the games. The knock by Virat Kohli in the semifinal against South Africa was probably his best ever in T20I and it came at the crucial time when India needed it the most.
Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Yuvraj Singh along with Suresh Raina have had India’s batting standards improved to new heights which work to psychologically win over the opponent a well.
When it comes to winning the game in the mind, Lasith Malinga does it better than most and Sri Lanka will be counting on him to get key wickets quickly to turn the fate of the match in their favour.
Sri Lanka has cause for concern with the key batsmen like Sangakkara and Dilshan not connecting the ball as well as they can while Jayawardene has had only the one innings with a good performance against England. Thisara Perera and Angelo Mathews have been the batsmen who have saved Sri Lankan batting from a total collapse in the tournament.
The final match of the ICC World T20 2014 will be a must watch for every cricket enthusiast on the planet.
