As for India, the comeback of opener Virender Sehwag has increased the ammunition in a big way and they are hoping that he fires today to give the team a crackling start. Andhra Café wishes Team India a huge victory and good luck for getting the number one spot.
India high on confidence for final
India would seek to maintain its supremacy over Sri Lanka and start the season on a positive note when it takes on the islanders in the final of the cricket tri-series here on Wednesday.
India lost its opening match of the tri-series against Sri Lanka, but bounced back strongly with three thumping wins — two against Bangladesh and one against Sri Lanka — to be high on confidence as it goes into the summit showdown.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men had a successful ODI record last year, winning four series. They would be eager to pocket the ongoing tri-series as well, which will come as a morale booster not only going into the Test series against Bangladesh starting in Chittagong on January 17 but also for the tough season ahead.
After the Asia Cup in Pakistan in June 2008, India has won all the tournaments involving Sri Lanka except for the ICC Champions Trophy and Dhoni and his men would want to extend their dominance over the islanders at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday.
A win will also narrow down the gap between India and current ICC ODI rankings leader Australia. India is seven points adrift at 123 points going into the tri-series. The match will also create a record of maximum number of games being played between any two countries in one-dayers.
Sehwag returns
India’s batting still remains the strong point with the top-order in good nick. Virender Sehwag’s return after missing two matches would also bolster the already strong Indian batting line-up.
Sehwag’s return to the playing eleven means Dinesh Karthik, who did reasonably well in the last two matches, will have to sit out.
India’s bowling, though, has been patchy and inconsistent in the tournament so far. The Zaheer Khan-led bowling attack struggled in the first two games before producing an impressive performance on Sunday against Sri Lanka, which, Dhoni said, was one of the best efforts in recent times.
However, inconsistency at the ‘death’ continued to haunt the Indian bowling department as it again leaked runs in the final overs against Bangladesh on Monday.
Desperate
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would be desperate to record a tri-series victory. The Sri Lankans must be a bit low in morale after their crushing defeat at the hands of India in their last match, especially after being on a roll following three successive victories. But with Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga in great touch and Sangakkara providing the stability at the number three spot, the islanders can beat any side on a given day.
Captain Sangakkara has been the tournament’s second highest scorer with 219 runs, behind Virat Kohli, while former skipper Mahela Jayawardene, who has a century under his belt in the event, provides the class and solidity in the middle-order.
