| | defeated their opponent i.e. New Zealand
|
| world cup and it is just a matter of two
| |
| | and South Africa respectively. The other
|
| days before we will come to know who the
| |
| | teams which had entered in the Super

| |
| | England, Ireland, Bangladesh and the host
|
| Sri Lanka was the only Asian team left in
| |
| | West Indies. All these teams did not play
|
| the tournament after the shock and early
| |
| | to the expected levels and lost the
|
| exit of two of the pre tournament
| |
| | golden opportunity to play in the cricket
|

|
| both Australia and Sri Lanka have played
| |
| | In the first final that was played
|
| very well throughout the tournament and
| |
| | between Sri Lanka and New Zealand the
|
| rightly deserve a place to play in the
| |
| | teams were evenly balanced on paper. So

| finals. It is very apt that only the best
| |
| | when Sri Lanka was batting first and they
|
| teams play each other to bag the title of
| |
| | lost two quick wickets, it seemed that
