Only these two teams deserved to be in the final of the CB series (Tri-nation cricket ODI tournament that include India, Sri Lanka & Australia) and what a tournament both the teams are having. After pushing India our of the finals both the team have played two matches of the best of three finals. Australia won the first final match whereas Sri Lanka won the second final match played today. Now both the teams will play each other again on the third final of the tournament which is also the decisive final. Which means team winning the third final will take home the CB series trophy along with the winning amount ;)
For Sri Lanka this win will be a consolation win after losing two successive world cup finals; both times to the other teams in the series i.e India and Australia. Please also note that this performance from the Sri Lankan cricket team is coming from a time when their payments are on hold. Yes you read this right, due to financial crisis in Sri Lankan cricket board the team is not being paid their wages, reports were that they have not got their dues for the world cup 2011 as well. Salute to the players of team Sri Lanka. I also predict today Sri Lanka playing the final of next tournament Asia Cup as well.
Australian team on the other hand is building up again slowly and recovering from the transitioning phase of the seniors from the team. A win here will be a boost for the young Aussie team. Let’s wait and watch the third final match of the CB series between
Australia and Sri Lanka for the results.
Other news from the cricket: IPL is back in April and will rock the cricket crazy India once again Asia Cup featuring the Asian cricket teams i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to be held in Bangladesh
