Moreover, the difference between their net run rate was a mere +0.002. In the semi-final, TM Dilshan’s Lankans beat South Africa by eight wickets on Friday, March 19 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur.

India, led by Sachin Tendulkar, on the other hand, beat West Indies Legends in the semis after posting a mammoth 218 on the board. After some jaw-dropping games, it’s time for the most-awaited final. The game will be played on Sunday, March 21 with India and Sri Lanka fighting for glory. Both teams are in jaw-dropping form until now and a close contest seems to be in the store.

The pitch in Raipur has been a belter for batting until now. The bowlers have had to work hard to churn out wickets. In a crunch game, teams should be batting first after winning the toss. The temperature will be around 33 degrees Celsius with the humidity mostly in the low-30s.
