It was great day today for Sri Lanka as it lifted its maiden T20 Cricket World Cup at Dacca this evening. Very many Congratulations !!
Winning the toss, the Islander chose to field - a wise decision by Malinga - who leading his team for the first time in the final. Coming to bat, the second time cup-aspirant India was restricted to mere 130 runs in 20 overs. Except for Kohli, none of the Indian batsman could score handsomely to give a fighting target to the Islanders.
Sri Lanka dismantled four Indian wickets before ending the 20 overs game for India. Kohli scored 77 runs and was run out on the last ball of the match.
