Sri Lanka can do it. If their batting power fires, then they will easily be backed up by their bowling. I'm so happy South Africa aren't in the final. That would have been a harder task than Pakistan. GO SRI LANKA!!!

If you saw my posts in that first semifinal thread, I was actually supporting Pakistan after India were knocked out. They have been a good team in T20. Sometimes lacklustre, but have been effective most of the time. At the start, I didnt give them a chance but they have come this far.

Fair enough. I wouldn't mind seeing them win either, it would be good for cricket in Pakistan. Sri Lanka are massive favourites though.

As I said throughout the tournament, Dilshan is the key for SL. If he gets going they get a above par score, if not they go below the par. Sadly for WI, Gayle fired but no one else backed him. Missing Edwards was a big blow, he could given WI that extra spark in the bowling.

3 ducks at the top order for WI,that was one of the major cause for their defeat.

I've watched those slow bouncers and thought if only they could set themselves to play the hook in the same way they play the paddle sweep. Finally, I saw a player paddle the short ball fine. Good on Dilshan for this continuing ascent. He's no longer one of the supporting players, he's now one of the stars.
