So finally the Lankan dream comes true after 18 years. The fans of Sri Lanka waited for 18 years to see and feel this moment again. The Sri Lankan team defeated the Indian team in the T20 worldcup of 2014. The fierce match was observed by the cricket fans and the teams were upto the mark. The Sri Lanka played extremely well to make the last match of their two legends Mahela Jayawerdene and Kumar Sangakara a historical match.
The toss was won by Lasith Malinga who opted to bowl first and the Sri Lankan bowlers were upto the mark specially in daeth overs when they gave just 19 runs in last 4 overs that is something extraordinary in a T20 match and when it comes to the Worldcup final, the value increases more. The Indian team was restricted to the score of 130, tough Virat Kohli played well and scored 76 but even this was not handy in scoring too many runs.
The task was looking easy as the Lankans rushed into the ground for the chase and they chased it easily. The score was chased in 17th over. Indian team fought hard but the score was too low to be defended and team SL get to the target easily by the helpful 50 of Sangakara who was playing his last T20I match. Thisara Prera hitted the winning six and the members of team and management rushed in the ground to celebrate.
The SL was really pleased with the victory and Lasith mentioned that they won this worldcup for their nation, for Sangakara and Mahela to make their farewell best one. The lads will arrive home on 8th April 2014 and the fans are ready to welcome their CHAMPS!!
