Finals Tomorrow

Twenty20 world cup started in 2007 in South Africa and India won the finals by defeating Pakistan by just 5 runs. The cup went to south asia where cricket is worshipped. This year, Pakistan-which is the only team to reach the finals from 2007 and Sri Lanka-who have crushed every opponent they faced are facing each other tomorrow. Who ever wins the final tomorrow, the Cup is booked for South Asia. Australians, South African or England are professional team and have huge expectations with them but the Asians-like Pakistan who are making the finals in the second row play the sport because of their passion and love. After the attacks on the Sri Lankan team in Pakistan, this will be the first time the champions come face to face. Pakistan are hungry for the cup as they have had a few international match and the world has isolated it from international cricket. Both Teams are equal. Pakistan have spinners Shahid Afridi and Saed Ajmal while Sri Lanka has the famous 3 M's-Mendis and malinga and others, both teams have competitive spinners. Umer Gul has been the best bowler of the series and crushed New Zealand. Muhammad Amir is just 17 years old but Sri Lanka isn't far behind. They have Ubanda. Doesn't matter who wins tomorrow, One thing is decided-it will be an interesting and a nail-biting finish. We will see which one of the lions will slaughter the goat and take the cup home and make their Country Proud. All my wishes to Pakistan!
