Match Final – Sri Lanka vs West Indies
Day and Date – Sunday Oct 7, 2012
Match Time – 13:30 GMT | 19:00 local (7.00 pm)
Venue – R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
The stage is all set after 3 weeks of super cricket and now the final will be played between host Sri Lanka and West Indies at the R Premadasa Stadium.
Both teams have shown superb cricket so far and the trophy will go to the one who will hold on to the nerves in the Super Sunday game. If West Indies win, it will be the end of 33 year long wait for the World Cup (T20 or ODI)
Sri Lanka who will be banking on its spinners will need a special plan to curtail Chris Gayle. Gayle who showed how devastating he can be in the semi final game against Australia will be the priced wicket for Sri Lanka. West Indies strength will be the explosive batting line up where as Sri Lanka will be hoping that this time in their home ground, the spinners help them lift the trophy.
Needless to say, the final is expected to be a real entertainer as both the teams are evenly balanced. Whoever shall win, it will be the victory of cricket in the T20 World Cup 2012.
