Hopefully not. I just remembered, It will Sachin if he is fit.

He will probably get something like football leg or wrestling back injury.

Save him for test matches.

Sri Lanka are in hot form right now, wouldn't be surprised at all if they won.

Beating Pakistan and NZ at home does not count as hot form.

Maybe not. But they've definitely got momentum going into this series.

 

[SciD]

They lost last 2 ODIs and T20 game so badly that even Afganistan would be ashamed of those defeats.

This is like a Bangladeshi styled tri-series with only 4 matches all played at the same venue.

Nah,even the Champions Trophy when it was last played in SL,almost all games were played in Premadasa only.

 

[Howsie]

It's a shame NZ isn't playing Sri Lanka in the best of five series anymore, we saw enough of India earlier this year. Should be even though, any team can win it.

Early favourites Sri Lanka for mine.

Why is that? India has beaten the hell out of both sides when they last met and that too in their own den.
